Examples of his work can be found on his YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/royzimmerman

Zimmerman has shared the stage with the likes of George Carlin, Bill Maher, Kate Clinton, Dennis Miller, Sandra Tsing Loh, kd lang, Andy Borowitz and Paul Krassner, and played a series of shows swapping songs with The Pixies' Frank Black. In the 90's he founded, performed with, and wrote all the material for the folk quartet "The Foremen" who were signed with the major record label Warner Bros/Reprise.

"Roy's lyrics move beyond poetry and achieve perfection." -Joni Mitchell

"Zimmerman displays a lacerating wit and keen awareness of society's foibles that bring to mind a latter-day Tom Lehrer." -Los Angeles Times

"I congratulate Roy Zimmerman on reintroducing literacy to comedy songs. And the rhymes actually rhyme, they don't just 'rhyne.'" - Tom Lehrer

Tickets are $12 and are only available at the door, so be sure to get there early.
