Fascists in Dedham Oppress Standup!

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on December 3rd, 2004

Word comes from New England that the bloated government of the tiny Boston beltway town of Dedham is nickel and diming their pub owners to death:

DEDHAM — Hosting a comedy show or inviting a celebrity to town for a business promotion apparently requires more paperwork and fees than some local business owners had originally thought.
Selectmen this week scolded Piccadilly Pub for trying to start a standup comic night without obtaining the required entertainment license. They also pointed to the Dedham Community Theatre, which plans a comedy night of its own, and also lacks the permit.

The nerve! The next thing you know, there’ll be anarchy! Horrors!

Piccadilly managers quickly remedied their situation by apologizing and successfully picking up a license Wednesday night from selectmen.

But Selectman Marie-Louise Kehoe said she was not pleased the restaurant had at first tried to have the show without contacting the town for the permit.

She’s “not pleased?!”SHECKYmagazine says, “Marie-Louise Kehoe can bite us!” Extract your stinking fee and shut your yap, you bloodsucking, bureaucratic leech! (Sorry… We’re posting this from New Hamppshire… must be something in the water… or my proximity to the offices of the Manchester Union Leader!)
