The W. Kamau Bell Curve December 4, 2008

THIS IS AN ONGOING EVENT. Dec 4 - Dec 13 (Thur, Fri, Sat)

Ending Racism in About an Hour

One part diatribe, One part manifesto, and Several parts funny.
Not since The Civil War has race been such an integral part of America's daily discussion. Somehow after "The W. Kamau Bell Curve: Ending Racism in About An Hour" opened a year ago, things have managed to get better and worse! Back then it was only celebrity racism that was all the rage. Yes, it was a simpler time for racists in America. But now we have a black president. And in response to Obama's historic election, racism has redoubled – no re-quadrupled - its efforts. To keep up “The Curve” has increased its schedule to three days a week – if you've seen the show before, then you know that no two performances are alike, because Kamau writes as fast as the headlines appear. It's time to laugh.

PRESS
"W. Kamau Bell plays against type and comes with not only the insights you wish you had spewed first but also the wit."
--- Kimberly Chun, The SF Bay Guardian
"Smart, stylish, and very much in the mold of politically outspoken comedians like Dave Chappelle and Margaret Cho. Bell's pissed off about recent celebrity racism... He manages to make jokes out of the whole situation, while remaining completely furious."
-- Hiya Swanhuyser, The SF Weekly
"By making no subject off limits, keeping no discrimination too taboo, and leaving no room for self-denial, Kamau's Bell Curve is not only a powerful comedic performance but an outlet for a necessary dialogue."
