"Public Eye: Artists for Animals' Veggie Cabaret II" is all about food - in fact, it's an evening of "veg zaniness" with comedy, theater and animation featuring Bizarro Comics' Dan Piraro, emcee (and Daily News' Online Editor) Vance Lehmkuhl, Dave Lambon and LaTice Mitchell-Klapa and music by Saint Mad. It starts at 8 p.m. Sept. 5 at the Rotunda, 4014 Walnut St. Delicious vegan food is available for purchase. $15.
