In response to the President-elect’s repeated threats on human rights, comedians in over 20 cities are coordinating shows to raise money for the ACLU on Inauguration Day Weekend for the WHAT A JOKE Comedy Fest organized by New York comedians Jenn Welch (The New York Comedy Festival) and Emily Winter (Writer for TV Land, Fusion TV). From Thursday, January 19th, through Saturday, January 21st, benefit comedy shows under the name WHAT A JOKE will take place simultaneously around the country and in the UK. Because seriously, what a joke.
Let's face it: if you can't laugh at it, you can't defeat it. So if you live near Denver, CO and you'd like to be a part of a national movement to put our money where our mouths are and raise funds for an entity that fights for us all, join us at Syntax Physic Opera in the Mile High City Thursday, Jan 19th. Come out and help us show the world that Denver cares, and that we won't take this sitting down! (Unless it's at a phenomenal comedy show, and we're all having a great time!!)
