Refreshing comedy. Engaging, smart, no nonsense -- fabulous. Great way to start our New Year's celebration. All 3 were intelligent, funny, edgy -- laugh-out-loud funny. Hari was brilliant -- our personal favorite of the three. Highly recommend it.

Laugh out loud funny, left and political. Not for persons concerned with political correctness or hippie sensitivity. Seriously thinking of going again.

More Information About Laughter Against The Machine: Comedians W. Kamau Bell, Nato Green & Hari Kondabolu

Description

LATM came together suddenly in the back of a comedy show during a discussion among Nato, Kamau, and Hari about wanting to find new audiences for their material. Having collaborated on several successful political comedy showsincluding “Laugh Out The Vote” and “Laughing Liberally Local 415″they wanted to figure out a way to put on an issue-oriented, topical comedy show constructed of truly impassioned material to attract the thoughtful, dauntless, urban, and urbane audiences that they knew were out there but rarely see in comedy clubs. They wanted a show where the comedians and the audience would show up understanding that they were both going to be challenged, where the audience could be entertained and think at the same time, and where the comedians would promise to push themselves to places comics normally fear to tread. They also wanted it to be hilarious. Hari, Nato, and Kamau wanted a comedy show with no preconceived expectations, no party lines, and certainly no cheerleading, because these three have beef with everybody including themselves. Welcome to Laughter Against The Machine. LATM is not just a show, it is a band… of comedians. It is a band that is strengthened by the diversity of the comedians opinions, ethnicity, and upbringing. LATM has happened three times and has seen sold out audiences every time. Welcome to a comedy show where the comics may (among other lighthearted topics) vivisect the very notion of post-racial America, AND attack the corruption and decadence of late-imperial America, AND provide an historical context for the mess we’re in, AND make jokes about it. Very, very funny jokes.
