Can America only dream in Black and White? One black woman will decide. HuffingtonPost.com's Favourite Female Comedian, Desiree Burch, challenges the notion of a post-racial 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. Featuring: Games! Cotton candy! Singing and dancing! White liberal guilt! 'Funny... kinetic showmanship' (New York Times). 'Smart, original, refreshing and maybe even necessary' (New Yorker).
