Now that society is collapsing, Everything Is Terrible! is reborn with their new and fantastical
expedition into found footage… but this time the adults can stay home! EIT! has unearthed
thousands of forgotten DVD & VHS tapes aimed at yesterday’s youth to bring you their most
mind-melting movie to date. Watch in awe as all colors of the rainbow join forces to destroy the
tyranny of adult civilization once and for all! All of your oldest friends will be there; skateboarding
web-surfers, rapping math equations, gigantic baby ducks, and maybe even a wizard or two!
And what EIT! show would be complete without a live experience that makes the Ice Capades
look like a stupid piece of trash! Finally, an all-encompassing extravaganza created for kidz… by
kidz!
EIT! is the video and performance art collective that is responsible for culling some of the
bleakest video memories of the internet’s horrid history. Cat massage, The Pedo-Hunting Dino,
Duane, Gerbert, and the French pubic hair styling tutorial are a few that have wowed and
confused millions of viewers around the globe. Everything Is Terrible!’s (now 8!) feature length
found footage films compile endless pieces of forgotten ephemera into a psychedelic retelling of
the American myth that is both hilariously sickening and endlessly compelling. 2018’s The Great
Satan was called “a masterpiece’’ by both Film Threat and The Chicago Reader. EIT! has also
collected over 35,000 Jerry Maguire VHS tapes that will one day live in a permanent pyramid in
the desert. Their Jerry Maguire Video Store immersive art installations in LA and Denver have
been praised by The New York Times, Vice, The Paris Review, and more. Their permanent
installations for Meow Wolf have been seen by millions. Each tour features an all-new live show
that is an event all its own, complete with song, dance, life-size puppets, and a renewed belief in
life itself.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

WEBSITE | FACEBOOK  | INSTAGRAM | TWITTER | LISTEN

Author, columnist, and comedian Steve Hofstetter is often called the hardest working man in show-business. With all due respect to the late James Brown.

Hofstetter‘s national TV debut came on ESPN’s Quite Frankly, where Stephen A. Smith yelled at him for three minutes. Hofstetter has also appeared on CBS’ “Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson”, Showtime’s “White Boyz in the Hood”, VH1’s “Countdown”, Sundance’s “On the Road in America”, and ABC’s “Barbara Walter’s Special”, where he thankfully did not cry. He is the host and executive producer of “Laughs” on Fox networks, where he only cries occasionally.

One of the top booked acts on the college circuit, the original writer for collegehumor.com has also released six albums. Hofstetter has written humor columns for the New York Times, SportsIllustrated.com, and NHL.com, where he publicly admitted to being a Ranger fan.

After hosting Four Quotas on Sirius Satellite Radio for two seasons, Hofstetter moved to broadcast radio, and his Sports Minute (Or So) was syndicated on over 170 stations and in over 30 newspapers. Hofstetter‘s second live comedy album (“Cure For the Cable Guy”) reached #20 on Billboard’s comedy charts. His third album (“Dark Side of the Room”) was the first ever pay-what-you-want” comedy album, since people were going to steal it anyway. His fourth album consisted of an hour of 100% ad-libbed material, which is, frankly, nuts. And his fifth album hit #1 on iTunes’ comedy charts, which is also a bit nuts.

Hofstetter‘s brutal tour schedule consists of over 100 colleges and dozens of clubs every year, and is fueled by an immense online popularity, tons of press, and a Prius with great gas mileage. He reached 200,000 friends on Facebook (still the world record), 400,000 more on MySpace, and high shelves in grocery stores.

While Hofstetter‘s live shows are routinely sold out, he is best known for his writing, first published at age 15, mainly to impress girls. At 18, he co-founded “Sports Jerk of the Week”, an irreverent website featured by press like USA Today’s Baseball Weekly, Sports Illustrated and CNN. And at 20, Hofstetter took a year off of school to head up web content for the New York Yankees. The Yankees won the World Series that year, which would have been wonderful if they hadn’t beaten Hofstetter‘s Mets. Yes, he’s also a Mets fan. Poor kid.

While an undergraduate at Columbia University, Hofstetter was a well-read columnist for the Columbia Daily Spectator and a voice of the Lions. After a summer writing for Maxim, ESPN, and Sports Illustrated for Kids, Hofstetter syndicated his column in several newspapers.

Without his glasses, Hofstetter also looks a great deal like Michael Rappaport.

Tucson Libertine League Presets: Eden

Doors 8PM | Show 9PM | 21 & Over | Public On Sale 10/4 10AM

Eden: A burlesque show that explores plants between science and fiction.

What would you do if your salad bit you back or started to talk? Inspired by the multimedia exhibit about the role of plants in science fiction literature, art, and cinematography on display at the University of Arizona in Fall 2022, this burlesque show brings together the natural sciences, visual culture, and art –   combining stunning visuals through performance storytelling – asking us to pay attention to what we often consider to be mere scenery and examine our thinking about plants. In light of our current ecological crisis, an encounter with plants as intelligent beings who talk back might just enable us to imagine different ways of living together on our shared planet.

In addition to the burlesque performances, audience members will be invited to partake in Plant Speed Dating to overcome “plant blindness” and create new ways of engaging with plant life.

The event is sponsored in part by  the University of Arizona College of Humanities, the Department of German Studies, Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research and the Poetry Center, as well as the International Office and the Kulturbüro of the University of Münster, and the Literary and Cultural Plant Studies Network.  Additional support is provided in collaboration with the American Geophysical Union Voices for Science program, the Tucson Audubon and Drutopia.
