Événement
Deflating Fascism Sketch Comedy Show
The fascist chill in the air have you hiding under your smelly old Luke Skywalker blanket with a $4.99 bottle of Trader Joe's wine? Doom-scrolling on the porcelain throne losing its magic?
Rise up (please wipe first) and resist by attending Deflating Fascism, a benefit for Indivisible Santa Cruz County featuring the Bay Area's artisanal sketch comedy troupe Dangerous Neighbors. All proceeds will go to supporting Indivisible Santa Cruz County's crucial work defending American democracy.
The show is a glorious medley of contemporary political satire (if satire still exists) and random jaunts into the deranged psyche of homo sapiens punctuated by live music from former Orange Peels drummer Bob Vicker's Trio. A former therapy puppet turned MAGA influencer is forced to confront his forgotten roots. A senior citizens' chess club takes a radical turn when its members are pushed to the edge by DOGE's Social Security cuts. A notoriously demanding Russian director helming a film about a gulag makes his star actress feel like she's living in one. The nation's economy shudders when "real Americans" step into jobs vacated by deported immigrants. A wholesome young city family finds refuge in the grisly past of an old country house.
Dangerous Neighbors has been performing in the Bay Area on and off since the early 1990s and its latest incarnation was called into service by the country's helter-skelter vote to put a demented insurrectionist felon back into the White House. As Wallace Baine of the Santa Cruz Sentinel put it, "If satire were a weapon, Dangerous Neighbors would be a heavily armed doomsday cult."
