Wake Up Laughing

Wake Up Laughing

Cosmic comic Swami Beyondananda brings his comedy disguised as wisdom – or is it wisdom disguised as comedy – to the Conch Republic on Friday, December 4th (8pm) at the Elk’s Lodge in Tavernier, Florida Keys. Swami is also appearing the following night, Saturday, December 5th (8pm) at Tropic Cinema in Key West. Keys To Peace, a local community building organization, is sponsoring the comedy event as a fundraiser for EcoWeek 2010.

Swami, a self-styled “political guru” who is probably the only comic Swami who channels both Elvis and Bullwinkle, offers insightful and hilarious comedy, guaranteed to leave ‘em laughing till the sacred cows come home. A list of Swami’s creative works will give you an indication of where he’s coming from. His books include Driving Your Own Karma, Duck Soup for the Soul, When You See a Sacred Cow Milk It for All It’s Worth, and his latest, Swami for Precedent: A 7-Step Plan to Heal the Body Politic and Cure Electile Dysfunction.

Speaking of politics, Swami’s alter ego Steve Bhaerman is a former political scientist (yes, we know … it’s an oxymoron) who has recently completed a serious book with noted cellular biologist Bruce H. Lipton, PhD. The book, Spontaneous Evolution: Our Positive Future and a Way to Get There From Here (Hay House, 2009), has been called “world changing” by Deepak Chopra.

As part of his national promotion tour for that book, Steve will be co-presenting with Joseph McCormick (Transpartisan Alliance) at two separate events (TBA) designed to activate the heart and soul of America to “reconstitute the Constitution,” and bring together parties from across the political spectrum in a conversation on how we can gather around common virtues and values to “reunite both America and the Conch Republic.”
