Wild Bill Bailout, the Bard of the Bankers, and satirical songster Dave Lippman bring their Fairly Balanced Cabaret to the Unitarian Church, 3707 Eastern Ave. Davenport, Saturday November 14, 8pm. Suggested donation $10.

Get ready for high-end pop parodies and some very wise cracks. The veteran satirical songster is fired up about healthcare, warfare, climate scare and market bear. This show has delighted and terrified audiences throughout the Free World, and in some pretty cheap places as well. Attendance is optional but strongly suggested. Dave Lippman has toured from San Francisco to Birmingham, England, from Australia to Germany to Central America. Current victims of his parody include the faith-based missile shield, Global Warnings, Sport Futility Vehicles, and of course, Wal-Mart.

Lippman has been performing his brand of musical comedy for over 25 years, often with Singing CIA Agent George Shrub in tow. His most noted CD is “I Hate Wal-Mart.”
