Dave Hill

A Cleveland native, writer, comedian and self-proclaimed "rocker extraordinaire" Dave Hill recently published his second book, Dave Hill Doesn’t Live Here Anymore, a terrific collection of humorous essays, last year. He mostly writes about his experiences in Northeast Ohio with an emphasis on his relationship with his father in the wake of his mother’s death. Both funny and poignant, it’s a great read. Tonight's show might feature a few excerpts from it, but Hill has recently refined his standup show, which sometimes even includes a segment during which he plugs in his electric guitar and shreds. Mary Santora and John Bruton join him for tonight's show, which takes place at 7:30 at the Grog Shop. Tickets are $10. (Niesel)
