“Why didn’t you call me when the report was done?!”
“Because there was no name or number on the form.”
“That sucks, Jose usually just knows who we are.”

It was with great alarm and fear that I greeted the news of the latest Laughter Against the Machine comedy tour, as well as the attendant documentary film project. The whole thing sounded terrifying. But because I seek to understand my enemies, I asked notorious progressive comedians …

Write-up of the tour and a great interview with LATM member, Nato Green.
From the streetz! (Of Berkeley.)
