About this Event
An Evening of Comedy and Music!
Fr. Vito Incognido is back with friends Laura Hlavac on piano and vocals, Mrs. Bunnyman (Mary Esch) giving announcements and a special appearance by Frank Bullshitini from Boston (Sid Smaka). Expect irreverent, mostly clean comedy. Inspirational, sometimes-singalong music and a lot of laughs. Oh, and be ready to make a confession for your sins.
Fr. Vito Icognido: Tom Esch
Mrs. Bunnyman: Mary Esch
Frank Bullshitini: Sid Smaka
and featuring Laura Hlavac!
Tom Esch has done comedy as Fr. Vito since 2017 at venues such as the Bryant Lake Bowl, Temple of Fashion (St. Paul) and Solomon's Porch (Minneapolis).
Mary Esch made her foray into performance art during the 90’s at various cabaret-style venues in Minneapolis. Things got seriously experimental when she played a role in Krista Walsh’s 2003 “Windmills and Mirrors”, Intermedia Arts, Mpls. Then, she choreographed and danced in Josie Winship’s 2004, “Don’t Conceal, Reveal!, Fringe Festival, Mpls. The character Mrs. Bunnyman was born in 2018 for The Father Vito Incognito show. God help her.
“If there is a message I want people to get behind the comedy, it is that God forgives you but you must hold yourself accountable,” Esch said. “And if you can’t hold yourself accountable, the community will …” Father Vito, I absolve you of your quips. For your atonement, say two Hail Marys and three Rodney Dangerfields." Ruben Rosario - St Paul Pioneer Press
