The Oversocial Mofo Revue
The Oversocial Mofo Revue is a groundbreaking new variety show from the producer’s of San José’s annual 25-Hour Summer Slumberfest. Each Revue presents an energetic Bay Area band or musician, a nationally-acclaimed spoken word artist, and a special “uncommon act” consisting of anything from stand-up comedy to circus performance to short film. Audience members are encouraged to participate in a host of games and contests including the official San José Poetry Slam – one of the toughest local poetry competitions in the U.S. – in which the winner receives a cash prize and a chance to represent San Jose at the National Poetry Slam.
The September 10th debut will showcase Oakland’s notorious poet-showman Jamie DeWolf, the dreamy sounds of the South Bay’s own Gold Hush, and San Francisco’s comedian extraordinaire, Mary Van Note.

She hails from Toronto, Ontario and has been involved in her poetry slam scene for a few years now. She just represented T.O. @ the National Poetry Slam. In September, she will return to teaching 12th Grade English (Canadian style, i.e. flavour, honour, houurly, vacuuuum – but we get her live and direct tonight in the kitchen.
Sharing this headliner tonight is David Perez. A San Jose native and one of my best friends, Perez (what I call him to his face) is a magical writer and performer who knows how to take us to moments of his life, letting us join him on the journey through his past, present and future. In 2008 he represented San Jo at the IWPS and this year he was a member of the San Jose Slam Team. You can’t not like Perez. He’s also making tamale pie!
