Satiristas target political hypocrisy and media distortion. Satiristas are gladiators who slash with the sword of knowledge, block with the shield of truth, and kill with the stab of humor. Their stand-up spectacle leaves audiences enlightened by spasms of uncontrollable laughter. Stars include Marc Maron, Janeane Garofalo, Rep. Richard (Dick) Martin and Tom Rhodes.
Janeane Garofalo
Janeane Garofalo is an accomplished stand-up comedian, actress, and writer who first made a splash on the cult-comedy The Ben Stiller Show in 1992. Her self-deprecating and politically-minded brand of humor eventually landed her a spot on "Saturday Night Live." In addition to hosting her own radio show, Garofalo can also be found in many movies, including Wet Hot American Summer and The Truth About Cats and Dogs.
Marc Maron
Maron was host of "The Marc Maron Show" on Air America Radio and a frequent guest on "Late Show with David Letterman" and "Late Night with Conan O'Brien." In May he toured with Eugene Mirman and Andy Kindler in "Comedy That Makes You Feel Better About Yourself and Superior to Others."
