I don't know why I haven't heard of Roy Zimmerman before!! I took a friend and WE LOVED IT. I can't wait for him to come to town again!!
Mr. Zimmerman performed a solo 90 minute set of satirical original material, accompanying himself on guitar. Liberally funny and witty, consistantly clever and occasionally insightful. A cross between Tom Lehrer and Capitol Steps.
This is a lovely and intimate 100-seat recital hall located on Level P2 at Fields Pianos Store in West Los Angeles.

If Gandhi had played guitar, grown hair and sung at the top of his lungs, he still wouldn't have had Roy Zimmerman's wicked sense of musical satire. On the other hand, Roy Zimmerman has never liberated a nation from a tyrannical oppressor.
He's working on it though, one song at a time.
Roy sings a compelling combination of socially conscious comedy and original music. It's Lenny Bruce meets Stephen Sondheim meets Phil Ochs in Brian Wilson's living room.
The Los Angeles Times says, "Zimmerman displays a lacerating wit and keen awareness of society's foibles that bring to mind a latter-day Tom Lehrer."
Tom Lehrer himself said, "I congratulate Roy Zimmerman on reintroducing literacy to comedy songs. And the lyrics actually rhyme, they don't just 'rhyne.'"
