Comedy has always played an important role in social commentary. Satire and parody in poetry and prose have been important ways for people to express their approval as well as their dissatisfaction with the government. In a democratic society it is an important form of self-expression. Join us for an evening of provocative fun and laughter with some of the leading comic voices today as the Democracy Center partners with Let’s Be Honest for “Democracy on the Rocks…with a Soda Chaser.”
For guests 21+. IDs will be checked at the door.
Ticket price includes drink tickets.
