It's in the paper too, but my phone battery is out of power so I can't take a pic. Hugs all around to everyone at the Isthmus!

I understand that the staff of The Isthmus might be too busy to come check out my show, so I decided to bring my show to them! Watch it in the video below!

That's right, I'm reminding them to come to my next show on Monday, June 29th at 6pm at the Frequency (121 W. Main) where my guests will be: District 2 Alder Bridget Maniaci, UW-Madison Professor Constance Steinkuehler from Games Learning Society, and comedian Dave Lebedz. As always the show is free, I hope the Isthmus staff can make it... and I hope you can too!!!

GO HERE TO VOTE FOR THE DAN POTACKE SHOW!!!

Or else read the rest of this blog post for directions.

Yo, folks. It's me, Danny P. Despite all the success of the show so far, I have to admit, I still don't feel like I'm made it (in local Madison media) because none of my shows have been viewed as an "Event Pick" by the biggest tastemakers in town: The Isthmus! But now, I want you to help prove to the Isthmus that Madison likes Dan Potacke by voting for THE DAN POTACKE SHOW in The Isthmus's Madison's Favorites Contest!

Hi! It's me, Dan Potacke and I'd like to invite you to come see my show on Monday, June 15th! As always, it's at the Frequency at 6 p.m and it's free for those above the age of 21.

This time, I've got one of the stars of the new independent horror film, Incest Death Squad: Carmella Wiese! She will talk to me about her adventures making a film with such an... interesting title! Plus, she got to meet Troma President Lloyd Kaufman who has a role in the film.

Then, I've got some folks from Out-On-A-Limbprov, a group that does Improv comedy once a month out at Glass Nickel on Atwood. Maybe they will let me play one of their improv games with them!

Plus, we've also got Sean McKenna to plug his new show: Full Nelson Reilly. It's a Madison variety show that mixes comedy skits with interviews from people around town. Wow, what an original concept for a show!

This is the one. Dan Potacke interviews Madison Mayor Dave and Mustard Museum curator Barry Levenson. Before a packed house at the Frequency, Dan Potacke also gets caught up with his old friend Jon Lyons, presents his ideas for civic improvements for Madison, and once again forgets his monologue notes. With music by the KC / JT Orchestra featuring ACTUAL INSTRUMENTS.
