In this presentation, you will be treated to a two-man one-man show featuring cosmic comic Swami Beyondananda and his slightly-more-serious alter ego Steve Bhaerman.  First, you’ll get to enjoy the Swami’s playful and hilarious take on events of the day, the human condition and of course our human conditioning.  And … not only will the Swami answer your questions, YOU will question his answers. 

Then you’ll have a chance to meet the man behind the Swami, and learn even more about how to wake up laughing and leave laughter in your wake.  More importantly, you as part of the audience will be able to share your own thoughts and feelings about comedy in these unfunny times.

You’ll laugh … you’ll learn … you’ll laugh … and you’ll laugh some more. 

Set One:  Stand Up With Swami …

In these serious times – where there’s definitely something funny going on – laughter keeps us sane.  This heart-opening, mind-expanding, funny and insightful comedy set will help you wake up laughing — and provide plenty of “aha’s” in the wake of the ha-ha’s.

For more than 30 years, the Swami has been a fount of comedy disguised as wisdom – or is it wisdom disguised as comedy?  Noted author Marianne Williamson has called him “the Mark Twain of our times” because the comedy isn’t just hilariously funny, but also offers sharp social commentary and spiritual perspective.

Billed as “one of the biggest names in comedy” (“Beyondananda” alone has 12 letters), Swami keeps the audience in hysterics with his mixture of word play, seriously funny political and spiritual commentary, and playful silliness.

Oh, and he’s the only guru to channel both Elvis AND Bullwinkle – and at the same time yet!

Over the past 30 years, Swami has authored such classic books as Driving Your Own Karma, When You See A Sacred Cow Milk It for All It’s Worth, Duck Soup for the Soul and Swami for Precedent:  A 7-Step Plan to Heal the Body Politic and Cure Electile Dysfunction.

Set Two:  Sit Down With Steve …

Swami’s alter ego Steve Bhaerman, in addition to being a funny guy in his own right, has also authored a “serious” book with cellular biologist Bruce Lipton.  Spontaneous Evolution:  Our Positive Future and a Way to Get There From Here, has been translated into 26 languages, and has been called “world-changing” by both Deepak Chopra and political commentator Thom Hartmann.  Says Steve:  “When Bruce and I wrote the book in 2009, we thought that ‘spontaneous evolution’ was a noun in the future.  We now see it’s a verb in the present.”

In this “sit down” with Steve Bhaerman, Steve explores how we can lovingly and laughingly transform the seemingly overwhelming crises we face politically, economically, ecologically and spiritually into an opportunity to “overgrow” the current system — and humor happens to be one of our key evolutionary tools.  Most importantly, you will have a chance to reflect on the show with your own community, and build the local connections that will be essential as we evolve into a global awareness.  Or as Swami would say, “We are here to re-grow the Garden, and have a heaven of a time doing it.”
