Nathan Timmel
When he was 6, Timmel conned his grandmother into buying him a record—George Carlin's 1972 disc “Class Clown”—and soon Timmel, probably much to grandma’s chagrin, was the only child running around the playground shouting the infamous seven dirty words you can’t say on television.
Thus began Timmel’s stand-up comedy career. Since then, he has performed across the country, been overseas for American troops eight times—hot spots such as Iraq and Afghanistan included—recorded several comedy CDs and thrice visited the nationally syndicated “Bob & Tom Show.”
He specializes in cutting past partisan politics and getting down to matters on which we can all agree. His Web site says he’s a “comedian, author and idiot,” a combination that’s always good for a laugh.
Nathan Timmel performs at 8 and 10:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Aug. 9-10, at Ann Arbor Comedy Showcase, 314 E. Liberty St. Tickets are $10-$12. Details at www.aacomedy.com or 734-996-9080.
