TONIGHT: Democracy Burlesque @ Mary's Attic

Marking comedy out of politics isn’t easy at a time when politicians are so intent on doing it all by themselves. It takes a special group of performers to shine a satirical light on the current landscape, and we know just where you can find them.

Democracy Burlesque (where “Only the Politics are Naked!”) will take the stage tonight at Mary’s Attic in Andersonville with Hypocrisy Now!, their live-action takedown of the poseurs, preeners and pretenders who are trying to pass themselves off as our leaders.

This is the first of three shows that will be performed over the next month, will all proceeds going to benefit CHIRP Radio!! Join us for a great night of comedy and truth!

Mary’s Attic / 5400 N. Clark / 7:30pm / $15 (cash only at the door) / Reserve Tix
