Everydude, You Rock

Voodoo vibes and colorful beaded necklaces are so rock ’n’ roll. Just ask soul-patched, devil-horns-throwing funny man Jim Florentine, who brings his singular breed of Howard Stern-approved comedy to Club Mardi Gras & VooDoo Lounge for two shows this weekend.

Voodoo vibes and colorful beaded necklaces are so rock ’n’ roll. Just ask soul-patched, devil-horns-throwing funny man Jim Florentine, who brings his singular breed of Howard Stern-approved comedy to Club Mardi Gras & VooDoo Lounge for two shows this weekend.

Also very rock ’n’ roll: Florentine’s uncomfortably hilarious Terrorizing Telemarketers CD series, created with partner-in-crime Don Jamieson.
