FIXING THE AMERICAN HEALTHCARE SYSTEM (IN 2 DAYS) Festival to Launch at Brooklyn Art Haus
Josh Gondelman, Ikechukwu Ufomadu, Chanel Ali, and Emily Flake join the lineup for four shows.
Comedians Ian Goldstein and Emily Menez, in partnership with One Nation, Overcharged, will present 'Fixing the American Healthcare System (in 2 Days) Comedy Festival,' a free, two-day comedy festival taking over Brooklyn Art Haus on Saturday, August 22, and Sunday, August 23.
Across four shows, some of the best writers, comedians, cartoonists, and storytellers will come together to tackle one of the country's most frustrating issues: the broken American healthcare system. Through standup, satire, storytelling, illustration, and characters, the festival invites audiences to laugh, commiserate, and confront the realities of the American healthcare system together.
The festival will feature a wide-ranging lineup of performers, including Josh Gondelman, Ikechukwu Ufomadu, Chanel Ali, Emily Flake, Akeem S. Roberts, Kate Sisk, and more.
