See below for all the details of the show, but mark your calendars now - September 22nd and September 29th at 9pm at the Zephyr Theatre. In the meantime, warm yourself up with some classic Charlie with his killer Eric Appel-directed short The Big Dog.

September 22nd & 29th 9pm
Tickets: $10. For reservations email thisonetimeshow@gmail.comMINNESOTA MUSLIM makes its LA premiere on September 22nd at the Zephyr Theatre on Melrose. After a six month run to sold out audiences at The Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in New York City, Charlie Sanders (Late Night w/ Conan O'Brien, The Office) brings his acclaimed one man show to Los Angeles.
From looking at Charlie Sanders, you would easily believe he is from Minnesota. You would never guess that he was secretly raised Sufi Muslim by his alcoholic hippy turned religious father. In his one man show Sanders tells the story of growing up a seemingly normal Midwestern kid while whirling with dervishes on the weekends. He takes you from the adventures of a dualistic childhood all the way through to the outrageous and comically macabre events of his father's funeral in this powerhouse performance that New York Magazine called "Existentially Hilarious."To read the Timeout NY review visit: http://newyork.timeout.com/articles/comedy/70151/minnesota-muslim
