Man 1 Bank 0 at Lakeshore Theater

Man 1 Bank 0 will be presented on May 11 and 12 at 8pm. Tickets are $22. Patrick Combs tells the amazing-but-true story of how he deposited a $95,093.35 junk-mail check marked “non-negotiable,” hoping to spread a little banking cheer to tellers, and how it erupted into a David and Goliath like adventure. His internationally acclaimed, off-Broadway one-man show is a hilarious chronicle of the ordeal that sparked astonishing legal twists, worldwide media coverage, threats of jail time and more. The show sold out its off-Broadway run and at HBO’s 2004 U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen. Among other accolades, Man 1 Bank 0 won the Just For Laughs prize for Best Comedy.
