Something Dada's Going East Side

Something Dada is movin' on up (movin' on up!) to the East Side (movin' on up!)... to Cleveland Heights, to be precise! We will be performing the last two Thursdays in May and the last two Thursdays in June, at The Historic Centrum Theater at 2781 Euclid Hts. Blvd. in Cleveland Heights.

We're incredibly excited to bring our hilarity to the Centrum, which has been an important part of Cleveland culture for even longer than we have (but 14 years is nothing to sneeze at, so Gesundheit!), and we'd love for you to join us. We will be performing at 8:30 on Thursdays May 22 and May 29, and Thursdays June 19 and 26. These will be full, 90-minute shows, completely based on audience suggestions as always. Tickets are $10 general admission and $8 for students and seniors. You can buy tickets at the Centrum box office, or buy tickets or make reservations through http://www.somethingdada.com/reservations.aspx. See you on the Heights!

Something Dada Mother's Day Survival Kit

As you may have heard from the world of massive, guilt-based e-mail, Mother's Day is this Sunday! So we ask you, what could Mom want more than a night out at Something Dada? Well, that list is a mile long. However, you can't afford to get her a diamond necklace, the crystal vase that had been in the family for six generations until you chucked it at your brother when you were ten still can't be replaced, and you're not really going to go back to school, now are you?

So let us rephrase the original question - What can YOU get Mom that would be better than a night out at Something Dada? The answer: absolutely nothing. You'll actually spend time with her, which is actually better than a phone call. On the flip side, though, you'll be watching a show, so OTHER people will be doing the talking, and she won't have a chance to ask you why you decided to ruin your gorgeous skin with that horrendous tattoo. And afterward she'll have laughed so hard, she'll remember having a good time, not the crying jag you caused on the way in when you told her that there really is a job market for Philosophy majors, seriously. Really, it's a win-win for everyone. And if you get your tickets online through http://www.somethingdada.com/reservations.aspx, you'll actually have something physical to give her, so you get out of buying her a card. This just keeps getting better, doesn't it? So get your tickets now!

Something Dada Gives Back to American Idol

Something Dada is concerned. As we're quite sure you're aware, American Idol's ratings have been slipping recently. We know that this has been happening since Sanjaya got eliminated. No Sanajaya, no Sanjaya hair, no happiness in the world, no ratings for American Idol. Basic Socratic logic. However, we also know that they can't make Sanjaya an Idol Emeritus, with a free admission to each season. So we have devised some alternative enhancements that Idol could use to improve its ratings:

- Underwater singing - viewers have to try and figure out what songs the contestants are singing while they're underwater. Bonus points to anyone who can finish all of Bohemian Rhapsody without coming up for air.

- Better themes - rather than the current crop of garbage (Andrew Lloyd Weber? Really?), try some truly challenging themes. We're thinking a Thrash Metal or Speed Rap week.

- Flaming Arrows - let's face it, anything's more interesting when the contestants are being shot at with flaming arrows.

- Make 'Em Ups - the singers are given a theme and a song style, and have to make up their own songs

Nobody would try that, would they? Just get an idea and have to completely make stuff up right on the spot? We know it's got the Fox execs quaking in their boots, but you can see folks who have that sort of courage EVERY SINGLE WEEK! That's right, Fridays at 8, Saturdays at 8 and 10:30 you'll get all the funny you can handle, all based on your suggestions, right ehre in Cleveland at Something Dada. Who knows, you might even get to see a better Neil Diamond impersonation than that old guy with the big ears Idol had on. (What? Really? Wow, he looks BAD!) Get your tickets online now at http://www.somethingdada.com/reservations.aspx and come see your TRUE American Idols.

Something Dada Celebrates...ERASERS!

Yes, April 15th was Tax Day. And so Something Dada could be going that route, making tax man jokes, offering rebate discounts, telling you to spend your hard earned rebate with us, etc. However, that would really make us no better than used car dealers, and our tickets are already a rock-bottom ten bucks - whaddya want?

We KNOW what you want. What YOU want is something different, something original - a celebration of Rubber Eraser day! That's right, Rubber Eraser day was April 15th, as you probably did not know. For those of us who still do our taxes in pencil, it is a most useful invention, and appropriate timing. Really, where would we be without erasers? Ripping up crosswords and throwing out math workbooks from 2nd grade, THAT'S where. Would we want to live in a world like that? Of course not. So go find a pencil and admire the lithe beauty that is the eraser (and thank Hyman Lipman who patented that in 1858 [http://www.holidayinsights.com/other/rubbereraserday.htm]), and then use it to type http://www.somethingdada.com/reservations.aspx and join us this weekend for our big rubber eraser party!

Something Dada Missed Your April Fool's Day

We blew it. We're sorry. We're a comedy troupe, for heaven's sakes, and we didn't do ANYTHING for April Fool's. No fake schedule. No press release trumpeting our discovery of a new miracle drug, Hydrogen Dioxide, that can sustain not only human, but also animal and plant life. No announcement that we're becoming the world's first all-performing-animal improv comedy company. Nada. Our bad.

To make it up to you, this weekend, we PROMISE to make stuff up. Absolutely 100% guarantee it. Not only that, we'll make up stuff based on your ideas, just to make it up to you. Think of something you want to hear bent, folded, spindled, mangled, mutilated and manipulated, bring it down to us this weekend, shout it out, and we assure you we'll have our way with it. We're just that kind of people. Don't thank us, it's the least we could do.

Something Dada Welcomes...SPRING!

Ladies and gentlemen, pay no attention to the snow on the ground or the bite in the air, spring has sprung, per both the calendar and common sense. March 21 has come and gone, so we are officially in the season of hope. The signs of spring go far beyond the Solstice. Baseball has started...even if it is in Japan. Once again the groundskeepers will be bringing their snowblowers to the corner of Carnegie and East 9th. The crocuses are peeking their heads out...only to have them crushed by a mound of wet snow. The sun is staying out later, to illuminate the craterous potholes dotting the streets of Cuyahoga County and its neighbors.

All of this is to say, once again we Clevelanders will soon be rewarded for braving the long, grey winter with the those glorious two weeks we call Spring, the time between the slush and the sunburn, between the icy streets and the nasty skeeters. So come down and celebrate the dawning of this new and fantastic time of legend with Something Dada this weekend. We'll have 8 PM shows Friday and Saturday, or stay out and enjoy the late sunshine and check us out at 10:30 PM on Saturday night. One way or the other, we'll greet the teasing 50 degree weather with laughter and fun.
