About This Event
Hari Kondabolu and Josh Gondelman present the Fall of Freedom Comedy Show, a mixed stand-up and music bill at Union Hall. The lineup pairs Kondabolu’s work on race and inequity and Gondelman’s television writing and stand-up with Union Hall regulars from the small-room comedy circuit (Aukar, Nataly, Tamarez, Johnson) and song-forward performers who move between music and comedy (Jordan, Josh, Matts, Gavin, Carlos).
