Posted by Dan Savage on Wed, Jun 17, 2009 at 12:53 PM

The Stranger is bringing Slog superstars Garfunkel and Oates to Seattle for one night only. G&O will be performing live—songs, stories, and with special guests—at Re-bar on Saturday August 22. Their Seattle show will be Garfunkel & Oates second ever outside of LA. (They're appearing at the Toronto Comedy Festival in July.) Order your tickets to Garfunkel and Oates—just $10!—by clicking here.

Hell yes. Tickets bought.

Thank you Dan for making this happen.

I plan on being the gayest straight man there. Unless my date is more of that than I.

Your demonstration in terrible taste/ideas rears its ugly head again, Savage!

Damn, I was hoping they would come while my kids are out of town. Oh well, maybe a baby sitter and someone to trade shifts with my wife can be found.

It's 21 and over??? Nooooooo! :(

Tickets are actually $12.38, not $10. Even if you gotta copy ticketmaster's service charge/processing fee practices, the least you can do is say the actual price up front here.

I predict that when all these two-minute gems of mirth are strung back-to-back in a two-hour show, many of their new fans will realize that they're not as funny as they seemed at first listen, and their songs all kinda sound the same. People will stop looking at the stage and start updating their facebook status on their iPhones by song #3.

Whee! I'm there.

worst shit ever.

I think it's going to suck! I don't like stuff! Must. Be. First. Negative. Comment.

I can't wait for this Slog-fad to be over with. NOT INTERESTING, NOT IMPRESSIVE. Christ.

i can only conclude that some part of Dan still wants to screw girls.

Posted by Max Solomon on June 17, 2009 at 2:33 PM

I bought my tickets. Now if you can just bring the Master Pancake Theater guys up from Austin.

Posted by SouthSeattle on June 17, 2009 at 2:36 PM

i'm going. last time i was at re-bar was to see pansy division, circa 1994.

They suck! And there's only 20 tickets left. Just sayin', haters.

The Stranger covers a lot of music that I don't care for. I somehow don't feel the need to jump into every Slog/Line Out post and bitch/police other people's tastes. Don't like 'em? Don't come.

But other people do and they are. Oh, hey—just 16 tickets left now.

I'll be the one jerking off... I mean drinking a drink in the back.

The show may sell out (at the fucking tiny rebar!), but your face still looks like a Vagina, Dan. Oh the irony.

Posted by It really does look like that on June 17, 2009 at 2:52 PM

IF (big if) Dan's face does look like a vagina, then it is okay for straight men to be attracted to him, right? Therefore, his gay partner may actually be straight?

Sorry [Dan's partner] if that offends you, I just like speculation and facetiousness.

What's the capacity of the Re-Bar for ticketed events?

Posted by stinkbug on June 17, 2009 at 3:06 PM

Sounds fun. Have fun, I'll be hiking in the Grand Canyon with the extended family, father-in-law turns 80.

Damn! Out of town.

After resisting watching any previous video links to G&O, I find this duo unsurprisingly awful. You'd think with a name like G&O at least one of them would be able to write/sing a harmony. These two are talentless improv-school drop-outs. Dan, you're a one-note-wonder (gay issues) and you have amazingly horrible taste (G&O).

Posted by Meatbot 3000 on June 17, 2009 at 4:34 PM

Damn. tixs sold out.

Posted by Simone on June 17, 2009 at 4:37 PM

I love Kate!!! She should marry me and we would have many many babies together and live happyly together!!! She's hotter then hot!! Got the tickets as soon as I saw this earlier!!
