DESCRIPTION:W. Kamau Bell (SF Weekly’s Best Comedian 2008 & Comedy Central’s first 
 comic to tell a Barack Obama joke), Nato Green (of Huffington Post, Iron 
 Comic, Laughing Liberally Local 415, & The New Jew Revue ) and Hari 
 Kondabolu (Jimmy Kimmel Live & Comedy Central’s Live at Gotham) — an 
 amazing crew of deeply underground and thought-provoking comedians — band 
 together once again for their comedy summit: Laughter Against The Machine. 
 LATM is a stand-up comedy show which promises an evening filled with biting 
 political & social commentary, that will attack all points along the 
 spectrum from the rightest right to the leftest left. This is an evening of 
 the comedians doing what they do best and are supposed to do, expressing 
 their pointed opinions in hilariously awesome ways.\n\nCome. Sit down. 
 Drink twice. Laugh. Go home.\n\nABOUT THE COMEDIANS\n\nW. Kamau Bell has 
 been called by The SF Weekly “very much in the mold of politically 
 outspoken comedians like Dave Chappelle and Margaret Cho.” Kamau was 
 named Best Comedian 2008 by The SF Weekly. Also seen on Comedy Central’s 
 Premium Blend and performing his critically-acclaimed solo show, The W. 
 Kamau Bell Curve: Ending Racism In About An Hour. He was recently named 
 number 77 on Comedy Central’s 100 Obama Moments.

 Jewish comedians like Lenny Bruce, Mort Sahl, and Joe Leiberman. Nato is 
 the mastermind of Iron Comic, Laugh Out the Vote, Laughing Liberally Local 
 415, and the New Jew Revue. He’s appeared in the Progressive Reading 
 Series and SF Sketchfest 2008 and 2009. http://www.natogreen.com/\n\nHari 
 Kondabolu has appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Comedy Central’s Live at 
 Gotham and was featured in the 2007 HBO U.S. Comedy Arts Festival. His 
 short film MANOJ, which he wrote, starred in, and co-produced was selected 
 to play at the 2008 Just for Laughs Festival. The Seattle Times called him 
 “a young man reaching for the hand-scalding torch of confrontational 
 comics like Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor.”
