Laugh to Keep from Crying: A WOC Comedy Showcase

laugh.jpg

Thurs, 10/11
8pm at Starr Barr
214 Starr St, BK, NY

Laugh to Keep from Crying is the second event presented by Yeah, That's What She Said as a part of the 2018 Ritual community programming. 

Ritual is a series of events centered around your self-care and revitalization. As the world around us becomes more violent and toxic, YTWSS is working to provide a space of healing, rejuvenation and creativity. We will use art, music, poetry, skills sharing, laughter and each another to give us an outlet to take care of ourselves. Although self-care can sometimes feel out of reach and hard to do on a daily basis, as a community we can support and uplift each other in finding our own ritual of self-preservation. 

Laugh to Keep from Crying is an all women of color comedy showcase as a part of the Ritual series. Let's support WoC comedians interrupting this male-dominated industry & take a break from the outside world, even for just one night.

Hosted by the hilarious queen Milly Tamarez (Milly Tea) 
Karolena Theresa
Arti Gollapudi
Jen Kwok
Fareeha Khan
Chewy May
Dominique Euqinimod

Join your hosts and real-life legal eagles Andrea Coleman and JR Strauss as they guide you through the minefield of American jurisprudence using comedy, guile, and good old fashioned case law. 

What’s funnier than the cornerstones of American justice? Andrea and JR are here to argue that the answer is NOTHING.

All Rise is an entertaining mock RE-trial of landmark U.S. Supreme court cases, featuring sketch, dance, a hilarious guest judge, and know-it-all experts. And get ready for the rare instance where you’ll WANT to be chosen for Jury Duty…

This month: Immigration, or “Build a wall or open the borders – is it closing time in America?” 

Andrea and JR proudly fight alternative facts with legal fictions as they face off over America’s immigration laws, argue if there’s anything cool about ICE, and ask some of New York’s best comedians and legal experts to testify before guest judge Ike Ufomadu and a jury of slightly buzzed audience members. 

Special guests:
Ike Ufomadu
Sandy Chansamone
Blaze Mancillas
Raj Sivaraman
Jen Kwok
Laura Sofia Rodriguez - LGTBQ/Detention Staff Attorney with American Friends Service Committee

Earth's Greatest... (A Game Show)

The year is 2162 and the universe is in catastrophic trouble. Only the VERY best humans can save it. The Plutars, an alien race, have traveled through history to find the most impressive humans from each category (conquerors, feminists, one-term presidents, people called James, etc), reanimating the top five people – but the catch is that they can only keep one from each batch alive. The five reanimated contestants must compete in a series of challenges to decide which of them will get to live – and join the aliens in their mission of salvation.

The show is hosted by lowly humans Keisha Zollar and Andrew Kimler, who the aliens have identified as the best game show hosts in human history.
