This piece takes the form of stand-up night with a host who will engage with the audience between each performance. The comedians, invested in becoming better artists and citizens, will collaboratively tell the story of how they trained with a propaganda expert to become funnier, more persuasive, and more fluent in their politics. They are here to demonstrate their newfound skills. This does not always go well. Or at least, does not go as expected. And isn’t very funny—but it is at times very funny. The show will begin like a stand-up night at a middle-of-the-road American comedy club and end like a harrowing documentary.
