Dave Hill

A Cleveland native, writer, comedian and rocker extraordinaire Dave Hill published his second book, Dave Hill Doesn’t Live Here Anymore, a collection of humorous essays, last year. He mostly writes about his experiences in Northeast Ohio with an emphasis on his relationship with his father in the wake of his mother’s death. Both funny and poignant, it’s a great read. Tonight's show might feature a few excerpts from it, but Hill has recently refined his standup show, which sometimes even includes a segment during which he plugs in his electric guitar and shreds. It's good stuff. The event, which also features comics Gabe Kea, Jimmie Graham and Bill Squire, starts at 8 at the Grog Shop. Tickets are $10. (Niesel)
