In the style of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and RiffTrax, comedians Josh Bolotsky and Matthew Filipowicz will spend one memorable evening performing Atlas Riffed, a live, second-by-second running commentary on the notoriously awful film adaptation of Ayn Rand’s libertarian screed: Atlas Shrugged: Part One. We’re going to make one of the worst films ever made actually fun to watch - and slowly but surely advance our covert crypto-communist agenda on an unsuspecting public.
Laughing Liberally, which is presenting tonight’s edition of Atlas Riffed, is a comedy show which uses humor and laughter to spread understanding of liberal ideas and advance progressive values. Showcasing the brightest progressive comedians from all across the nation in New York City and on a national tour, Laughing Liberally will save democracy one laugh at a time.
