A sordid tale of booze, sex and hymns. Ever wonder what really goes on in church? Tony Imperatrice tells the story of how a boy raised atheist became a church organist. From his histerical dysfunctional family, to his numerous drunken adventures, you will laugh your ass off. With over 30 years of church music experience, Tony has seen and done it all. From fist fighting wedding parties, to schizophrenic nuns. You will delight at the telling of all the sordid details. A laugh fest you will not want to miss.

Thanks for posting this Lorie! I was going to do that right now – you beat me to it!
Tony is very enjoyable. His sense of humor and outlook on life is hillarious. He is a Do Not Miss Show! Had me in stitches! Loved it I am going to go again bringing friends!
Tony is a close friend,and I thought I had heard all his stories……
but the bastard has been holding out!!!!
This show has all the elements of the best Rogue shows: personal history,great storytelling,humour, and honesty.
A must see.
Tony is hilarious, even while delving into the darker corners of his life as a – cue the hockey music! – church (and hockey game) organist. My only regret is that I wasn’t there on Thurs. night when his dad heckled him. But then maybe that’s for the best, because I may have heckled him back just for the heck of it, and who knows what would’ve happened then.
Good show. Tony tells his story in a fun and engaging way.
I have seen this show in the past and thoroughly enjoyed it. Highly recommended!
