With the Republicans now controlling both the House and Senate and a GOP Governor here in Massachusetts, we need progressive laughs now more than ever. We are excited to announce Laughing Liberally Boston, a one night only political comedy show featuring some Boston’s top liberal and progressive comedians.
Laughing Liberally Boston is the local chapter of Laughing Liberally, a national organization of progressive comedians who use humor and laughter to spread understanding of liberal ideas and advance progressive values.
Laughing Liberally Boston is hosted by comedian, satirist and progressive talk radio host Matthew Filipowicz. Matthew’s work have been featured on CNN, NPR, PBS, HBO, BBC, Ain’t It Cool News, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Atlantic, the Nation, the London Times, RT TV and countless sites in the liberal blogosphere including Salon, Daily Kos and the Huffington Post.
Comedians on the bill include: Emily Ruskowski, Nick Ortolani, Samaria Sam Jay Johnson, Stirling Smith, and Jaiyong Li.
In addition to some of the finest progressive comedians Boston has to offer, each Laughing Liberally Boston show will feature a special interview segment with a local political figure or activist. This month’s guest is Robin Jacks from NoBoston2024 discussing the Boston Olympics bid.
