Political Subversities Begins Open Run
Online, September 29, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Political Subversities is a darkly funny cabaret that finds the humorous, the stupid and the downright absurd in today's social and political landscape in the form of side-splitting sketches, fast and funny monologues and Broadway-worthy songs. Featuring an ensemble of New York's most exciting emerging writer/performers, Political Subversities seamlessly presents more than 40 sketches and songs in under an hour. Neither Left or Right, Political Subversities sinks its comedic teeth into everyone from Palin to Palestine, bedbugs to Bloomberg, Obama to Oprah - no one is spared. With fresh material every week, the show is always riding the edge of the political and cultural moment.
Imagine a Venn diagram of The Daily Show, Glee, Avenue Q, Saturday Night Live and South Park. POLITICAL SUBVERSITIES is there in the middle.
