TOURETTES Without REGRETS

TOURETTES WINS BEST OF THE BAY 2005: EAST BAY EXPRESS:

".The host Kennedy is a geeky red-haired lovechild of a crack-crazed Richard Pryor and Alex from A Clockwork Orange -- but a little less homicidal. Kennedy's famed vaudevillian show, Tourettes Without Regrets, is currently in its third year at the Oakland Metro, and has been consistently selling out, with lines down the block before the doors open. Combining a slew of pranks and wacky stunts -- including pig-heart free throws, dirty haiku, and phone-sex bouts -- with some of the top slam performers and freestyle battles in the East Bay, Tourettes is Kennedy's personal version of Stromboli's Pleasure Island. This dude is one of the few local personalities with a knack for getting people to eat, drink, and throw things they normally wouldn't" -by Rachel Swan
