CHAD WOODARD
Dr. Chad, More, Again



7:00pm / Tickets begin at $15

The only thing better than "story time with Dr. Chad," is when it is interrupted by some singing! An eclectic mix of songs across genres, some making good sense and some that we'll all just get through together... Don't worry though - he get's more talented after each drink (you have).

CHAD WOODARD moved to NYC in 2002 to be a big Broadway star, and after waiting tables for a few years instead, trashed that idea. Instead he sang his way through a couple of doctorate degrees, became an entrepreneur and professor, and now just enjoys making a fool of himself to raise money for charities and such. But don't worry, he has won at least 2 pretty intense karaoke competitions in the past decade, so he still thinks he's got the goods.
