Rev. Billy leads the Life After Shopping Gospel Choir—a radical performance community dedicated to the earth, justice, a fair economy and the return of free expression to public space—who believe that Consumerism (with a capital C) is overwhelming our lives. They advocate for less shopping, less corporatism, less consumerism, and more community. Trav S.D. in the Downtown Express wrote:

I’ve presented this man, I’ve interviewed him, I’ve talked to him, I’ve watched him perform – and I still don’t know what the hell he is. He’s kind of a cross between Andy Kaufman and Abby Hoffman. While he seems to be portraying a Jimmy Swaggart-esque preacher, everything he says could be coming out of the mouth of Michael Moore — and onstage or off, he never drops character.

Next Sat, Feb 6, you can see it for yourself at 92YTribeca when Reverend Billy & The Life After Shopping Gospel Choir take over our stage. “ If you don’t dig his politics,” Trav continued, “his weirdness alone is sufficient spectacle — plus his gospel choir is amazing.”
