LAUGHING LIBERALLY: THIS AIN'T NO TEA PARTY is a comedy extravaganza, which mixes humor, musical numbers, video, and political satire, to spread understanding of liberal ideas and advance progressive values.

Original songs for LAUGHING LIBERALLY: THIS AIN'T NO TEA PARTY are written and composed by Jamie Jackson.

Under the direction of Justin Krebs (author of 538 Ways to Live, Work & Play as a Liberal), the show will feature a rotating roster of today's hottest comedians including John Fugelsang, Jim David, Dean Obeidallah, Baratunde Thurston, Negin Farsad, Lee Camp, Katie Halper, and Elon James White.
