DESCRIPTION:W. Kamau Bell (SF Weekly’s Best Comedian 2008 & Comedy Central’s first 
 comic to tell a Barack Obama joke), Nato Green (of 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. http://www.wkamaubell.com/\n\nNato Green is 
 in the tradition of great 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. 
 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.” http://www.harithecomic.com/\n
