Press Release
Kevin Smith, who wrote and directed Clerks, Yoga Hosers, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back and the series “Comic Book Men” among his many credits, and Jason Mewes , who starred in Clerks and Jay and Silent Bob among numerous collaborations with Smith, will record an episode of their podcast “Jay & Silent Bob Get Old” on Saturday, June 20, at 8:30 p.m. at the Sacramento Community Theater (1400 J Street), in conjunction with the second annual Wizard World Comic Con Sacramento.
Ranked #1 on Itunes Comedy podcasts, “Jay & Silent Bob Get Old” is a sometimes touching, always hilarious, look at what happens when two people grow up in Hollywood’s gaze. These limited engagements will be recorded as the stories evolve live in front of the audience, and released for free on www.smodcast.com.
The event, which requires a separate admission from Wizard World Comic Con Sacramento, follows up on “Wizard World Presents: An Evening With Kevin Smith,” held earlier this month in Minneapolis alongside the Wizard World Comic Con event there.
“I can’t wait to Bee in Sacramento! And I promise, the jokes will be better than that,” said Smith.
“Kevin Smith was a big hit in his Q&A in Minneapolis, and Jason Mewes has been a popular guest at Wizard World Comic Cons, so this unique live event is a great opportunity for our fans in Sacramento,” says John Macaluso , Wizard World CEO. “We are pleased to bring them together for a special night, and happy that Jason will also be meeting fans, signing autographs and posing for photo ops at Wizard World Comic Con Sacramento.”
