KAT PRIMEAU uncertified reviewer June 20, 2010
Abie Philbin Bowman started out as a Gandhi-loving idealist from Potato Island (aka Ireland) when an interaction with an ex prompted him to become the change he wanted to see in the fight against global warming. Through a combination of absurd correlations and bizarro logic, he proves that Al Quaeda is an exemplary leader in the fight against carbon emissions and no meal is truly local, healthy, and free of socio-political implications. Not for the easily offended or champions of political correctness, Bowman's excitedly lisping speech meanders and loses momentum at times, but is saved by smartly-clever acoustic renditions of REM's "It's the End of the World as We Know It" and "I (Earth) Will Survive."

I love political theatre and this guy is just brilliant. I saw him for 15 minutes at the late night reviews. It starts with his title and subject matter. Jesus in Guantanamo, Eco-friendly Jihad. What great material. Jesus would not have made it through immigartion... We fly our bombers 1/2 way around the world, they source locally, walk their bombs to the target, and are much more biodegradable. I am not as enthusiastic about Obama and the KKK, but it really strikes a chord among the black community. And he does hit so close to home, I am reluctant to repeat what he said for fear of the FBI knocking on my door. I think this guy is great, go and see him.

A rough performance with very few highlights. Most of the material seemed to be over the heads of the audience. Best moments were the use of familiar songs with rewritten lyrics for End of the World (as you know it) and (the earth) will survive. Worth seeing but definitely come with an open mind.... full review

If we truly live dangerous times, Abie Bowman reminds us to not take it all so serious. Laughter can rule the day, and a new perspective on a crazy times. ... full review
