Description |
Making her New Zealand debut Huffington Post ‘Favorite Female Comedian’, Desiree Burch, challenges the notion of a postracial America in this interactive carnival of race and capitalism. With a socially conscious comedic style reminiscent of Richard Pryor and Louis CK, Burch uses stand-up, current events and autobiography to speak to America’s growing majority of minority experiences. Following a Fringe First awardwinning performance at the Edinburgh Fringe, Tar Baby takes a funny and inclusive look at the scary and divisive subject of race. |
