Laughter Against the Machine

TICKETS FOR PERFORMANCES AT NEW PARISH (in Oakland) http://www.thenewparish.com

W. Kamau Bell, Hari Kondabolu, and Nato Green, three of the nation's most fearless and thought-provoking comedians, reunite for the 2nd annual New Year's Eve edition of Laughter Against The Machine. LATM is a rare kind of stand-up comedy show filled with biting commentary about politics, culture, and society, which will attack the entire spectrum from the rightest right to the leftest left. If you want a New Year's Eve full of "WHOOOOOOOO!" and "I'M SOOOOOOOOO WASTED!" and "AS MUCH AS I PAID TO GET IN HERE I BETTER HAVE A GOOD TIME!" then this is not the show for you. You have plenty of events to choose from. But if you want to witness three comedians diving off the edge then come to Laughter Against The Machine. This is an evening of three hilarious acclaimed comedians doing what they do best, without the yoke of two drink minimums, or confetti, or "LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO MY SHOES!" Just come. Sit down. Laugh. Go home.


ABOUT THE COMEDIANS
W. Kamau Bell has been called “very much in the mold of politically outspoken comedians like Dave Chappelle and Margaret Cho”. The SF Weekly named him Best Comedian 2008 and featured him in a cover story in 2009. He has appeared on Comedy Central's Premium Blend and continues to perform his critically-acclaimed solo show, “The W. Kamau Bell Curve: Ending Racism In About An Hour.” Time Out New York wrote, "Happily, Bell finds comic gold in the wide range of material he mines, offering provocative insights into an ugly reality. FOUR STARS"

San Francisco native Nato Green continues in the tradition of hard-hitting Jewish comedians like Lenny Bruce, Mort Sahl, and Joe Lieberman. Nato is the mastermind behind Iron Comic, Laugh Out the Vote, Laughing Liberally Local 415, and the New Jew Revue. He blogs on Huffington Post, is the Official Comedian of the Progressive Reading Series, appeared at Comedy Day 2009 and SF Sketchfest 2008 & 2009. Nato claims that an anonymous reviewer on an unnamed website --- who Nato has reason to believe is not related to him --- wrote that Nato, "always manages to look completely relaxed saying the most incendiary sh*t."

According to the Seattle Times, “Hari Kondabolu is a young man reaching for the hand-scalding torch of confrontational comics like Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor.” He has performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live and Comedy Central’s Live at Gotham. His short film MANOJ was selected to play at the 2008 Just for Laughs Festival in Montreal and was a Finalist in the 2007-2008 Boston Motion Picture Awards. Born and raised in Queens, New York, Hari graduated from Bowdoin College in 2004 with a Bachelor’s degree in Comparative Politics and from the London School of Economics in 2008 with a Masters degree in Human Rights.
