Dad's Garage Debuts DEMOCRACY ACHIEVED This Fall
by A.A. Cristi
- Sep 15, 2016
Do you have a sneaking suspicion that our political system has become one giant piece of absurd theatre? Do you watch politicians on the evening news and not know whether to laugh, cry, or start applying to jobs in Canada? Our political system has become a giant circus of money and power, but at least it makes for good comedy! "Democracy Achieved: This Ode to the Perfection of American Politics" is our sketch comedy show all about the USA's not-so-perfect political system. While the current political climate may frustrate you, for us it is a magical comedy well that never runs dry. From a Joe Biden Dos Equis commercial, to Atlanta Street Car sketches that last about as long as their route, nothing is safe.
