Laughter Against the Machine

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.

Come. Sit down. Drink twice. Laugh. Go home.
