Dan Potacke Show - 9/6 w/ Rick Stemm, Christian Neuhaus, and Jack Craver
August 31st, 2010Close out your summer with THE DAN POTACKE SHOW - LABOR DAY SPECTACULAR! It'll be one last show full of summertime memories! Then, Fall will come and everything will become cold and barren. So don't miss this show!

Our guests will include Rick Stemm & Christian Neuhaus. They wrote a new play called "You've Ruined A Perfectly Good Mystery," which Mercury Players Theatre is running from Sept 9-25. We'll talk about the writing proce...ss and I'll ask them why no theatre company has produced my play POTACKE: The Rise of Dan Potacke- The Potacke Cycle: Vol. 1.
We'll also have Jack Craver, also known as the Sconz. He writes about Wisco politics on thedailypage.com and we'll chat about the Governor's race, the Senate race and the potential power shifts in the state legislature. Doesn't that sound exciting? If it doesn't sound exciting, I'll make sure to throw in a poop joke or two.
I'll see you there on Labor Day! Don't worry, the only labor you have to do is to laugh! And possibly work, not that many people get off Labor Day anymore.
Dan Potacke Show - 8/23 w/ Jason Stephens & Comedian Dave Labedz
August 20th, 2010Hey, it's Dan Potacke here! I'm thinking you should come out to The Dan Potacke Show this Monday! Why? Because it's going to be a good show!

We've got Jason Stephens stopping by! You might recognize him as one half of Jason and Nicole from Q106's morning show. Or you might recognize him as a member of local improv comedy group: Monkey Business Improv. Or you might know him from his many amazing celebrity voices in Blame Society ...Productions Bric-A-Brac Theatre series.
We've also got Dave Labedz to tell us funny jokes! You will laugh!
As always, there's no cover!!!! Be there at 6:30 PM at the Frequency!
Dan Potacke Show August 9th- The Beer Special!
August 3rd, 2010Hi, it's me Dan Potacke! My show is having a beer special! It's a show all about beer. It's because Madison is gearing up to host the annual Great Taste of the Midwest where over 100 brewpubs come to Madison to give beer to people! It's also because two people who write about beer agreed to be guests on the same show! THERE WILL BE A COMPLIMENTARY BEER TASTING FOR COMING TO THE SHOW! YUM!

You know how there are a lot of breweries and brewpubs in Wisconsin, ever wanted to go to them all? And then writ...e a book about it? TOO LATE. Kevin Revolinski already wrote said book, "The Wisconsin Beer Guide." He's recently come out with a new edition exploring all the new breweries that have opened since the book first came out.
Next, we've got Jeff Glazer of Madison Beer Review (madisonbeerreview.com), a blog where he and friends review a variety of beers. If you want to develop a taste for good Wisco beer, MBR is an amazing place to start! As part of his interview, Jeff Glazer will lead the audience in a free beer tasting. And the beer chosen will be something good. FREE BEER for coming to Potacke!
We've also got comedian Matt Lind. I've seen him drink wine at several bars so he doesn't fit in with the theme. But he's funny!
Dan Potacke Show-July 19th w/ Matt Fanale and Matt Sloan
July 12th, 2010Hi, Dan Potacke here! After over a month off, I make my triumphant return to the Frequency on July 19th! Oh, you didn't notice I was gone? Well, anywho, I'm back.
Having time off to recharge creative batteries means more time to dedicate to writing quality jokes and guffaws. We even have a chance to rehearse two of the bits! I think this will be one of the finest shows we've ever put on.
And our guests will be awesome, too. For you see, most talk shows are content to give you a maximum of one Matt as a guest. But that's not good enough for The Dan Potacke Show, we are bringing you two Matts, that's over double the Matt value! We'll have jokes by comedian Matt Sloan, best known for making funny videos and great improv, he rocked the Potacke stage with his stand-up back in November and now he's got all new material to share with us! And I'll sit down for an interview with Caustic's Matt Fanale as he talks about his scary music and trying to build up music scenes!
As always, it starts at 6:30 at the Frequency and there is NO COVER!!!! You get in for zero dollars, though I will hit you up for donations, but you'll probably ignore me on that... most people do. Sigh.
Dan Potacke Show - June 14 w/ Nicole Gruter and Bastard Den Radio
June 8th, 2010Hiya, it's Dan P here! The P stands for Potacke! After this Monday, The Dan Potacke Show will be off until July 19th... so if you want some of me, this is the week to come out!

Joining me this time will be performance artist Nicole Gruter. Sadly, she's moving away from Madison soon, this will be a chance for Dan to sit down and talk with her about her experiences in Madison and across the country. She's also having an impressive art Sale-A-Thon at the Project Lodge on June 18th-19th, we'll probably talk about that too.
Plus, we'll have Louie and Jimmy from the Bastard Den radio program. I assume it's a support group for people whose parents were not married when they were born. Plus, I'm going to be a guest on their show this Sunday on the 13th.
I'll also have a comedian, one of em. Anybody want to tell jokes before the show? Preferably jokes involving observations of daily life and how it's weird in some way.
