DESCRIPTION:Move over Terry Gross, Michael Krasny, and the whole public radio 
 familywe've got a public dialogue of our own.\n\nComedian W. Kamau Bell 
 (The W Kamau Bell Curve, Laughter Against the Machine) and his friend and 
 sometime collaborator rapper / activist Boots Riley (The Coup, Street 
 Sweeper Social Club) will sit down and have a chat with each other about 
 their careers, their lives, their hopes and dreams, and whatever else they 
 can think of to talk about. Knowing these two, it will be raw, insightful, 
 profound, poignant, militant and most of all, hilarious. See two Bay Area 
 Bon Vivants who already know each other get to know each other even better. 
 Who doesn't want to see that?\n\nAll proceeds from this show will go to the 
 Laughter Against the Machine (W. Kamau Bell, Nato Green, and Janine Brito) 
 national tour and documentary. LATM will wade into the most polarized 
 quagmires in the US, the flashpoints of American ignorance and upheaval. 
 We're going to Phoenix, Chicago, Dearborn, Madison, Washington DC, New 
 Orleans, and wrapping up in Oakland. Like Doctors Without Borders, but with 
 jokes instead of penicillin, LATM roams the country bringing humor to the 
 people who need it the most.\n\nInfo about the Kickstarter campaign for the 
 national tour is here:

 tour schedule is here:

 door prizes!\n\nW. KAMAU BELL has been voted San Francisco's best comedian 
 by three publications. His stand-up album, Face Full of Flour, was named 
 one of the Top 10 Best Comedy Albums of 2010 by both iTunes and Punchline 
 Magazine. Kamau is best known for his critically-acclaimed solo show "The 
 W. Kamau Bell Curve: Ending Racism in About an Hour," which he performs 
 across the country and just took to the Edinbugh Fringe Festival. Visit him
