“Bill Santiago proved political satire is alive in America.” – San Francisco Chronicle
 
Comedy Central Comedian, CNN contributor and Huffington Post blogger, BILL SANTIAGO, tears Election 2012 a new one, and isn’t afraid to ask the tough questions: Is Obama Muslim? Is Romney Human?  Are we better off than we were 400 years ago? The show runs for two days only at La Peña Cultural Center in Berkely, Friday, October 26 – Saturday, October 27th.

Special musical guest both nights will be DANNY SHORAGO, a musician, writer, filmmaker, and actor.  He’s the ringleader and lead vocalist for The Fuxedos -- America's favorite surreally satirical, theatrical, punky art rock band, complete with costumes, props, bizarrely humorous theatrics, and freakishly tight musicianship.  Performances include appearances on Comedy Central and on the legendary Dr. Demento's recent web series, as well as live shows at Spaceland, the Echo, and the Eagle Rock Music Festival in LA; the late Tonic in NYC; Toronto’s Now Lounge; the Casbah in San Diego; and the DNA.

Bill Santiago currently appears every Saturday morning on CNN with Randi Kaye, delivering comic relief commentary via Santiago's Weekly Pop Wrapup.

While connecting solidly with his Latino fans, Santiago is just as as popular for his savvy mainstream material, reminiscent of George Carlin and Jerry Seinfeld, and showcasing Santiago's journalistic roots, obsessions with language, and keen insights on everything from family to culture to cats to politics to religion to life and death to dance to Facebook.
