Fans of satire will find plenty to enjoy when the Denver Press Club’s Gridiron Show takes place on Oct. 2 at the Reiman Theater on the campus of the University of Denver.
The DPC’s annual show of political and cultural satire features a returning Gov. John Hickenlooper and the Hick-Tones, Rocky Mountain PBS’ Cynthia Hessin, Secretary of State Wayne Williams, Denver City Council member Kevin Flynn, Rep. Jonathan Singer with other state legislators, and more names from politics and media.
Doors open at 6 p.m. and showtime is at 7 p.m. at the Reiman Theater, in the Margery Reed Hall building (2306 E. Evans Ave.) on the DU campus, next to the Daniels College of Business. Parking is free, underground at the Daniels College of Business, which is next door to the Hall building.
Tickets to the show cost $15. You can purchase tickets at www.blacktie-colorado.com, by clicking on the calendar tab, then clicking on Oct. 2, or go to www.blacktie-colorado.com/rsvp and enter the event code: DPC102 (all one word, not case sensitive).
The Gridiron show is a showcase of local performers, journalists, politicians and Denver Press Club members, who present a hilarious skewering of local and national political and cultural happenings – mostly in song, plus a fake newscast. The original performance was held in 1946, and its current run has been an almost-annual occurrence since 2000.
Also returning are members of the core cast each year: Edie Sonn, Ruth Darling-Goldberg, Cynthia Rose, Tom Corona, Bruce Goldberg and violinist Julia Hays. Hank Troy is the pianist.
