The dust has settled - well, or is settling, or about to be overturned, depending who you ask.

Yet after the election, we still have polarization. Covid-19. And the threat of Kanye running again.

How will things play out? What part should we play? We sort through the rubble with an excellent lineup of comedians and experts, including:

  • Helen Hong, favorite on NPR’s “Wait Wait, Don’t Tell Me” and seen on HBO’s Silicon Valley!

  • Jackie Kashian, comedian with #1 iTunes comedy album “I am not the hero of this story” and host of the Dork Forest podcast!

  • Jose Sarduy, comedian seen on Last Call with Carson Daly and a US Air Force pilot!

  • Mark A. Peterson, UCLA professor and expert on national institutions!

  • Geraldo Cadava, Northwestern professor and author of The Hispanic Republican!


Plus your questions from the audience! Hosted as always by Toby Muresianu.

Owing to the ongoing pandemic, this will be our first all-digital show - so people can attend from sea to shining sea with the following login info:

Up Close & Political returns to create a positive environment to discuss the potential collapse of ours!

Is the Green New Deal the real deal or do we need a new one?
Is it the size of the Pacific Garbage Patch that matters, or the commotion in the ocean?

As always, we'll have stand-up on the topic followed by a discussion with experts and your questions!

Featuring:

JC Coccoli of Last Comic Standing and the New American Road Trip!

Brian McWilliams of Comedy Ahoy! and the Electric Libertyland podcast!

and

Noah Bleich, founder of The Tea Book - a zero-waste organic tea company. He’s also worked with LA Conservation Corps and studied environmental science and marine ecology!

Jisung Park, UCLA economics professor studying environmental economics, labor economics, and public finance!

It’s going down at the Hollywood Improv Comedy Club on Monday, March 4th from 7:30-9pm—for the environmentally-friendly ticket price of $5 and a one-item minimum.
