event The Dan Potacke Show

The Frequency's bi-weekly happy-hour variety revue The Dan Potacke Show is not only a chance to test out the surreal idea of a talk show hosted by a fictional character, it's also an inventive celebration of many sides of Madison life, from comedy to music to such local "celebs" as Mayor Dave. Madison comedian Alan Talaga stars as Dan Potacke, a caricature of a naïve, pathetic, self-loathing, yet painfully cheery Wisconsinite, who fumbles his way through interviews with his guests, shares his latest failed business adventures (including travel agent and motivational speaker), and leads volunteers through cheesy game-show-type segments.
