(Recommended for mature audiences)

Join the multitalented and multifaceted Stuart Davis for a hilarious and bizarre ride through the human spiritual experience. For this “twisted mystic,” embarrassment, taboo, and paradox are key ingredients in his performances. A long-time practitioner of Zen Buddhism, comedy, and indie rock music, Davis’s work is a rare combination of sincere open-heartedness and fearless boundary-pushing.

Stuart Davis has made a genre-busting career of delving into difficult subjects. With his trademark synergy of sacred and profane punch lines, he takes the audience through a circus of sexuality, spirituality, and showbiz. In Davis’s universe, funny is profound and love has no opposite.

All Sidore lectures are free and open to the public, but reservations are recommended. A reception follows each lecture. Lectures are presented in the Smith Recital Hall in the Silver Center for the Arts, unless otherwise noted.

For reservations or to arrange special accommodations, call (603) 535-ARTS.
