Alamo Lamar
Alamo Lamar E
1120 S Lamar Blvd.
Comedy guru Del Close, mentor to everyone from Bill Murray to Tina Fey, sets out to write his autobiography for D.C. Comics. As he leads us through sewers, mental wards, and his peculiar talent for making everyone famous but himself, Close emerges as a personification of the creative impulse itself. He's a muse with BO and dirty needles, offering transcendence despite (or because of) the trail of wreckage behind him.Programming descriptions are generated by participants and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of SXSW.
