Political Subversities Returns To The People’s Improv Theater 2/4

By:

Political Subversities returns to the People's Improv Theater to lampoon this election season on February 4th at 9:30PM.

About the group: "Political Subversities is a darkly funny cabaret presenting new material every week that mocks 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. Political Subversities seamlessly presents more than 40 sketches and songs in under an hour."

Initially conceived by Tony Nominee and Obie Award winner Elizabeth Swados, and currently written by a cast of actors, writers, singers and sketch comedians has held return engagements at Joe's Pub.

On February 4th the group will return to The People's Improv Theater at 9:30PM, continuing its two year engagement with the East Side's favorite comedy venue. Tickets are $15 and can be obtained at www.thepit.com or by calling 1-212-563-7488.

A live cast album recorded at Joe's Pub will be available for purchase.

The group's growing selection of viral videos including Political Wife, Trapped in a Mountain, The Social Network Uses Blackface, Michelle Obama's Arms, Lemonade Stand, Shut up and Pay Your Taxes and the most recent Made Up Disease have been shared by thousands of bloggers, Facebook/Twitter users, and political websites.

POLITICAL SUBVERSITIES is created and performed by a cast of young, vibrant writers and performers including Kim Blanck, Todd Dakotah Briscoe, Jabari Brisport, Andrew R. Butler, Ismael-Enrique Cruz Cordova (The Good Wife) , nicHi douglas (The Today Show), Matthew Robert Gehring (Late Night with Jimmy Fallon), Cyndi Perczek, Emma Tattenbaum-Fine, Shaina K.
