Tickets are still available, so come see the show. Howdy folks. If you’re thinking of coming to Curious to see Jean Louis in Tandem or AuGi in SexyNurd or if you just want to jump in and swim with all the other Fertile Ground fish (that is, events), pick up a Fertile Ground pass. Festival prices are now $50, reduced from $100. In Jean Louis’ hilarious and beautiful comedy, Tandem, Stacey Hallal and Bob Ladewig explore the meaning of “international language” through brilliantly crafted sketch comedy – ultimately finding that two wrongs can make a right… though they often take three lefts to get there. |
Watch three groups of actors, each with a camera person and a tape runner, take to the streets to film, shoot, and "edit" a movie while an audience watches the projected tapes as they're run to the theater. Sound complicated? It is, but that's the fun of it. Crafting a Joke and Using Political Satire to be Heard 
Anyone can be a jokester, but it takes true finesse to craft an LOL-worthy piece of comedy. As co-creator and former head writer of The Daily Show and co-founder of Air America, Lizz Winstead is one of the top political satirists in America. In this three-hour workshop, Lizz will teach you all the steps to crafting smart jokes, and how to use political satire to get your point across. As a performer, LIZZ brought her political wit to The Daily Show as a Correspondent and later to the radio waves co-hosting Unfiltered, Air America Radio's mid morning show, where she brought Hip Hop legend CHUCK D and political big brain RACHEL MADDOW on board. LIZZ'S talents as a comedian and media visionary have been recognized by The New York Times, The Washington Post and Entertainment Weekly's 100 most Creative People. Her television appearances include Comedy Central Presents and regular spots on MSNBC's "The Ed Show" and "The Joy Behar Show." Most recently, Lizz wrote and produced an independent pilot of her Off-Broadway hit, "WAKE UP WORLD, a show Rachel Maddow called, "The funniest thing I have seen in years." Buy Tickets. |
