ArtsUP! LA will present WAKE UP BECKY, an evening of stand-up comedy as a way of bringing levity to the subject of racism. Hosted by Emily James and Lina Green, the show features a variety of hilarious touring comics from BET, HBO, Comedy Central, Apple TV, Amazon Prime, and Showtime including Awon, Isaac Chu, Nikole Denise, Julie George, Del Harrison, and Nina Rancel, and features special musical guest Ronnie Chism from Theatre by the Blind. The show promises a cathartic, eye-opening EDUtaining experience filled with laughter, and is followed by a roundtable discussion with the comics about the subject matter.
Co-Host Emily James performs on Los Angeles stages like The Comedy Store in Hollywood and Flappers Burbank in addition to venues from NYC to Hawaii.
