Page the Village Idiot (born 1966) is a Phoenix, Arizona singer-songwriter, satirist and guitar comic. He has released two studio albums [ [http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/2005-11-10/music/page-the-village-idiot/] Dominic, Serene. "Page the Village Idiot." ("Phoenix New Times", November 10, 2005)] and one live compilation. His music industry-critical pop music parody, “This Song Sucks,” was nominated by Red Peters for Song of the Year 2007. [ [http://www.redpeters.com/playlists/playlist20071231.html] "The Red Peters Comedy Music Hour - Show #38" [http://www.redpeters.com/homepage.html"The Officia Red Peters Website"] ] PTVI’s “Dead Rockstars” has been featured on the Dr. Demento Show.

Notable for his satire of Phoenix-area political and social issues such as methamphetamine addiction, racism, consumerism and Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, PTVI also targets pop culture personalities (Nancy Kerrigan), international figures (Osama Bin Laden) and various subcultural phenomena (teenage plastic surgery).

A one-man act, Page the Village Idiot uses guitar, ukulele, a Roland MC-303 and bass pedals to parody diverse musical styles, including rockabilly, blues, electronica, industrial, punk, rap, metal, pop and folk.
