"When that rascally fellow Scoop points a finger at truth," remarked 1960s sage Ram Dass, "What else to do but laugh." Well-known radio personality, irreverent comic commentator, best-selling author, and Buddhist meditation group leader, Wes "Scoop" Nisker brings his extremely well-rounded, humorous commentary on the political and social questions of the day to the Freight stage. Scoop is a 27-year veteran of the broadcast media best known for exhorting his listeners, "And if you don't like the news, go out and make some of your own." He has also been a student of Buddhism for over three decades, imparting his unique blend of Zen philosophy and wry humor in books like The Essential Crazy Wisdom (Ten Speed Press) and last year's The Big Bang, the Buddha, and the Baby Boomer. In his stage monologues, Scoop reveals the absurdity of the human condition, offering us the sort of laughter that only vast perspectives can bring.
