Laffrican Americans + A Look Back At Trump + Bottom Shelf + Trustfall

Rise Up! explores all the ways the personal really is political, and vice versa.

The Line-up

Laffrican Americans
With more swagger than Mick Jagger and more braun than the Teflon Don, the Laffrican Americans have those other wack improv troupes on the run. Weaving together shades of hip-hop, current events, World Star videos, and Kanye rants, Laffrican Americans create an incredible tapestry of wild scenes while still remaining honest.
Cast: Hank MacDonald Jr, Yasi Nejat, Allan Sidley, David Thornhill Jr. Coach: Richie Khan

Years in the future, a documentary will be made about the greatest president of all time, Donald J. Trump. This is that documentary.

Bottom Shelf Goes There
Bottom Shelf takes you into the lives of a few close friends. See how even the most ordinary of situations are CHARGED with political undercurrents. (Whether they want them to be or not.)
Cast: Nick Martinez, Jon Jon Raizon, Matt Strote, Jane White

Trustfall: Trust Us, We’ll Get Through This
