Wavy Gravy: Saint Misbehavin'

Saint Misbehavin' journeys from the hills of California to the Himalayan Mountains to reveal the life of this one of a kind servant to humanity. The film blends Wavy's own words with magical stories from an extraordinary array of fellow travelers both cultural and counter-cultural, revealing the man behind the clown's grin and the fool's clothing.

In Saint Misbehavin' Wavy is revealed more than the tie-dyed entertainer and ice-cream flavor namesake that often defines him in the popular imagination. Audiences will come to know the activist, the optimist, and the healer who reaches beyond political, economic, and cultural divisions in his commitment to social change and the alleviation of human suffering.

Wavy's life is his message, serving as deeply needed inspiration that we can change the world and have fun doing it.

Satirist Paul Krasner describes Wavy as "The illegitimate son of Harpo Marx and Mother Theresa, conceived one starry night on a spiritual whoopie cushion," to which Wavy has replied, "Some people tell me I'm a saint, I tell them I'm a Saint Misbehavin'."

About Wavy Gravy:
Wavy Gravy first came to international prominence in the Academy Award winning film Woodstock, where he famously announced... "What we have in mind is breakfast in bed for 400,000!" But there is much more to the Wavy Gravy story.

Born Hugh Romney in 1936, the young Wavy took walks around the block with family friend Albert Einstein. As poetry director at the New York's Gaslight Cafe in the early 1960s, he introduced "jazz and poetry" to Greenwich Village, Marlene Dietrich gave him a book of Rilke poems, and Bob Dylan shared his room, writing the first draft of "A Hard Rain Is Gonna Fall" on his typewriter.

As a traveling monologist and "talking about weird stuff that had happened to me" he was managed by Lenny Bruce, and opened shows for John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk, Peter, Paul & Mary and others.

Wavy was one of Ken Kesey's Merry Pranksters, and founded the Hog Farm hippy commune. During the 1968 Democratic Convention, Wavy was instrumental in running a pig for president — as he notes, "the first female black and white candidate for that high office!"
