Item Description

You are bidding for a pair of tickets and meet and greet passes to W. Kamau Bell's "Kamau Mau Uprising" Stand Up Tour in December – in the city of your choice. 

W. Kamau Bell is one of the fastest rising socio-political comics in the United States. This summer he premiered his own weekly half-hour series on FX, Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell, executive produced by Chris Rock. A founding member of the stand-up comedy collective “Laughter Against the Machine,” Kamau is also co-host of The Field Negro Guide to Arts & Culture podcast with Living Colour guitarist Vernon Reid. Praised by Punchline Magazine as “one of our nation’s most adept racial commentators with a blistering wit,” Kamau has been voted San Francisco’s best comedian by the SF Weekly, the SF Bay Guardian, and 7×7 Magazine. His recent stand up album, Face Full of Flour, was named one of the Top 10 Best Comedy Albums of 2010 by iTunes and Punchline Magazine. Kamau is best known for his critically acclaimed solo show “The W. Kamau Bell Curve: Ending Racism in About an Hour,” which was a Time Out NYcritic’s pick in the 2010 NY Comedy Festival and a comedy pick in The Guardianduring it’s 2011 run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Time Out NY gives him “FOUR STARS” and offers, “Bell finds comic gold…offering provocative insights into an ugly reality.” The San Francisco Chronicle raves “The personable, quick comic skewers racism, stereotypes and an assortment of iconic taboos with provocative wit. FOUR STARS!” The SF Weekly has called Kamau “smart, stylish, and very much in the mold of politically outspoken comedians like Dave Chappelle,” though he was more excited that they called him “handsome.”
