An Evening With His Royal Hipness Lord Buckley
- Full Price:
- $20.00
- Our Price:
- $10.00
'50s comedian Lord Buckley's jazz-influenced delivery and surreal use of language made him a major influence on Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor, among others. Jake Broder re-enacts his routines, backed by a live jazz trio, in a performance the Los Angeles Times has called "the coolest show in town." This tribute is a joyous celebration of the routines of the late counter-culture comedian who was a cabaret legend beloved of Al Capone and Frank Sinatra and who continues to influence pop culture today. You can expect laughs, shock, outrageous contemporary satire and some great tunes. Learn More

This was fun. A bunch of short films about many things, standing up for yourself, love, and just life in general. Overall, it was a good time.Written on Oct 01 2007

We didn't love every one of the 12 short films, but the ones we did like were worth the trip.Written on Sep 29 2007
M Bar was a little disorganized about the "tickets". They said they had a list of names, but they never asked for mine. Then they put the ticket price on the dinner bill, but they took it off without an argument when I told them we had purchased our tickets through Goldstar.

M B & R is a small, intimate show room. Food acceptable and service was good. The Films were all interesting. Not a dud in the bunch. As Goldstar customers we had a nice roomy booth for 4. An enjoyable evening.Written on Sep 28 2007

Scheduled for 7:30, films did not start til after 8 p.m. A little repartee with the audience during that time would have added to a sense of camaraderie. Alas, no such luck.Written on Sep 28 2007

About the Ticket Supplier: M Bar
The "M" stands for music, martinis and mangia (Italian for "eat"). Enter through red velvet drapes to find a speakeasy-like interior dripping in dramatic red, from the vinyl booths to the server's micro-miniskirt. The crowd is eclectic and the mood is bohemian--low lighting, high artistic vibe.
