RESISTANCE AS COMEDY – or is it comedy as resistance?
RESISTANCE AS COMEDY – or is it comedy as resistance? The first one is in all caps so it must be that.
You can run from resistance but it will always catch up with you – as Sami finds out in Peace De Resistance: his second hour of comedy-theatre. Come and join his open call for mass civil disobedience, equitable distribution of hand puppets and more! Find out once and for all: can resistance actually be funny?
This show was previously titled Merguez.
