Do you like your comedy seasoned with spicy social and political commentary? AP friend W. Kamau Bell is a part of the ‘Laughter Against the Machine’ (LATM) tour and documentary film project. Also on the bill: comedians Nato Green and Janine Brito. The tour starts Sept. 10 in Phoenix (see schedule below) and will be filmed for a documentary (click HERE if you’d like to help fund the production).

Umm… It was ME!
The best part is that it was the READER’S CHOICE! Right between BEST BURLESQUE & BEST MAGICIAN! (Which is kinda what a comedian is. We strip naked and try to make magic happen while people laugh.)
So I that means I owe thanks all to YOU! Or people very much like you…if you, yourself didn’t vote.
I assume that some of you coming to my page are trying to get acquainted with whoever this “W. Kamau Bell” person is, so here’s quick primer…
Margaret Cho said about me…
“W. Kamau Bell is the most important guy doing comedy right now. Do yourself a favor and go see him. He’s got the most astute, hilarious and completely righteous material going and he’s going to be a legend in his own lifetime like Richard Pryor and Lenny Bruce. Think Bill Hicks but slightly taller.”
I’m on Facebook, Twitter, & Youtube. Look to the right side of this page —>

LATM Founder is SF Weekly’s Best Comedian 2010!!!
Wednesday, May 19th, 2010This is 3 years in a row that The SF Weekly has gotten it right!. Nato this year, Ali Wong last year, and some black dude the year before that. Extreme congratulations to Nato! Of course I have a steak in this one. Nato is the co-founder of Laughter Against The Machine. We’ll be kicking out the comedic jams this summer in Seattle and Portland. You’ve been warned.
Best Comedian – 2010
Nato Green
Nato Green is a hard-working man in show business. (We can’t really say the hardest-working man in show business, in a town so packed with hard-working men in show business.) His Iron Comic series blends improv-style audience participation with traditional stand-up, his work at the Progressive Reading Series kept the writers doubled over, and his Laughing Liberally Local 415 and the New Jew Revue are legendary. He’s also a blogger for the Huffington Post, where he recently contributed an Onion-style fiction about a group calling the Tea Party “not conservative enough.” The takeaway quote comes from a woman too afraid of Jews to give her name: “I voted for Sarah Palin, but I don’t believe a woman’s place is to kill a moose. We should leave that to the menfolk.” But it is for a single night’s work that we honor Green at the moment: Laughter Against the Machine. The show returns this summer, with Green’s cohort of W. Kamau Bell, Hari Kondabolu, and, hopefully, Janine Brito, too, reprising the funniest comedy show we’ve ever seen. The funniest. In a town packed with funny shows.
