For more than 20 years, Bill Maher has set the boundaries of where funny, political talk can go on American television. First on 'Politically Incorrect' (Comedy Central, ABC, 1993-2002), and for the last 12 years, on HBO's 'Real Time,' Maher's combination of unflinching honesty and big laughs have garnered him 33 Emmy nominations. In 2008, this same combination was on display in Maher's uproarious and unprecedented swipe at organized religion, Religulous, directed by Larry Charles (Borat). The documentary has gone on to become the eighth highest grossing documentary ever.

Actor/director Tony Torn and Julie Atlas Muz star in Ubu Sings Ubu, an immersive theatrical mash up of Alfred Jarry's Ubu Roi and the songs of experimental cult band Pere Ubu. Adapted from a version of the original French text, and run through the Google Translateengine, Torn and company are fueled by the giddy, angular new wave rock of Pere Ubu, the cult band whose name and style were inspired by the play. Torn, who co-directs with Dan Safer of Witness Relocation, plays Pere Ubu while Muz is Mere Ubu, in a bizarre parody of Shakespeare's Macbeth, set in Poland instead of Scotland.
