This is a great chance for the host's local fans to see him live and unfettered by the FCC.
Here's his press release:
Outrageous. Outlandish. Funny. Provocative. Bitingly Honest...those are not the words Bill O'Reilly has used to describe Karel, in fact, he has been named "Pinhead" (and wears the badge with honor) and christened "What's wrong with America" by the Fox host. As an openly gay talk radio sensation for years in #1 shows on #1 stations such as KFI Los Angeles and KGO San Francisco (which ended in the "F*/k Joe The Plu...." heard 'round the world), radio and television personality, author and HuffingtonPost.com columnist Karel takes his Hi-NRG personality and never secretive opinions from the airwaves and brings them to the stage, FCC be damned! Agree or not, there's never a dull moment as he takes on social issues of the day or just the humor and absurdity of every day life. Entertaining, informative and painfully relevant, it's a roller-coaster ride not to be missed, because as Karel himself admits, "We all may have fallen many times, it's when we STAND UP that's far more interesting..." Come and see why his first book was called "You Can't Say That!" and leave laughing "I can't believe he said it!"
Karel (Charles Karel Bouley) has had #1 talk shows at Citadel/ABC's flagship station, KGO AM 810 San Francisco (#1 overall station) and for KFI AM 640 Los Angeles, He is an entertainment reporter and film critic for KNX 1070 Los Angeles (CBS). Karel also has filled for Bill Press on his national show on a regular basis.
He is a blogger for the HuffingtonPost.com and has been a columnist for the #1 music industry bible Billboard, the #1 gay/lesbian newsmagazine The Advocate at Advocate.com and IN Magazine Los Angeles and others. His book of essays "You Can't Say That" is published by Alyson Press. His highly proclaimed 1990's Dance Album "Dance...Or Else" as well as new music is available at iTunes and other online stores and he maintains a blog, podcasts and message boards atwww.karelstandsup.com and can be reached at karel@crkb2.com.
Karel did two seasons as a lead actor on TNN's "Ultimate Revenge" hosted by Ryan Seacrest and featuring Marc Summers (an improvisational practical joke show a la Punk'd) created by industry veteran Woody Fraiser. Karel produced, directed and wrote a marriage equality PSA that won second place in GLAAD's "I Do" contest, being aired at OutFest and on national television, featuring 12 youth and a cameo by Thomas Jefferson. Karel has also appeared as a guest on topical issues having appeared on such cable news networks as CNN, MSNBC and Fox News. He is also a frequent guest on TV and radio as a Macintosh Computer expert.
Karel made history with his late partner (on and off air) Andrew Howard as the duo became the first openly gay male couple to host a major market talk show when they took over afternoon drive at KFI AM 640 Los Angeles (following Rush Limbaugh and Dr. Laura on the #1 talk station in the country). Upon Andrew's untimely death in 2001, Karel went solo and personally changed state law in California so he could pursue a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of his partner. He lives in Long Beach, CA at Park Howard with his dogs and cat.
