Legendary American political satirist and activist takes you on an emotional, intellectual journey that has audiences sobbing with both laughter and, well, sobbing. A tale about recovering from trauma at a time when his country elected a man who, in Crimmins words, 'will make the next four years the longest ride ever taken in the back seat of an abusive bastard's station wagon'. Barry offers a remedy for Donald Trump's vitriol in the form of a substance completely foreign to the man who would be dictator: love. Goddamned funny, hilarious, trenchant, and brave.
