Synopsis
Women of Colour (& Friends!) express their comedic voices in new and vibrant ways!
They Go Low, We Go Laugh is a variety show where folx of colour and marginalized identities will do stand-up, storytelling, sketch comedy & more! – all in the name of shining more light in this world.
This edition features four stand-up comedians, as well as a sketch comedy piece – ‘Gu Paul’s African Race.’ ‘GuPaul’s African Race’ takes a tongue-in-cheek approach to the topic of oppression, drawing inspiration from the iconic “RuPaul’s Drag Race” to create a unique and entertaining experience.
