The current-events entertainment has played in New York at Town Hall, in Los Angeles at the Wadsworth Theater as well as engagements in Boston and Las Vegas. Co-founder and creative director Justin Krebs describes it this way: "A summer of smart, savvy, liberated humor. Howard Dean and Harry Reid laughed with us and right wing commentators attacked us. At least no one falls asleep."
