Kevin Kling's Mom-O-Rama
Minneapolis Storytelling treasure, Kevin Kling is joined by fellow performer and singer/accordionista Simone Perrin for a delightful romp of stories and song in celebration of Mother’s Day, 2010.
With hilarious and riveting storytelling by NPR humorist Kevin Kling, this touching and transcendent event beautifully weaves humor, heart and the human spirit by exploring the difference between the trip you plan and the trip you take in life.
Kling and Perrin speak for each other and for the whole audience, as they urge everyone to “give into the journey.” Through beautiful stories and music, and by simply being honest about themselves and the world around them, Kling and Perrin will have the whole room laughing, crying, gasping and clapping.
Simone Perrin pairs her music well with Kling’s perspective on the world. She is sexy, sly, silly, and sassy. Her wonderfully odd voice rings clearly as she flirts with the audience.
Kling is best known for his commentaries on NPR’s All Things Considered. He also is the author of two books, Holiday Inn being the most recent. It explores a year of holidays (including Mother’s Day) in Kling’s life and has been called “surprising, wise and redemptive,” by public radio host Krista Tippett. The book was nominated for a 2010 Minnesota Book award.
“Kling has an enviable gift for storytelling, a sense of humor rooted equally in pain and whimsy…and an uncanny ability to transform intensely personal memories, especially those of family life, into something instantly recognizable and, at the same time, strangely exalted” –Chicago Sun Times
