About this show
Americans are the best at imperialism and comedy. We have already proven the first. I am here to prove the latter. Many shows at the Fringe have a narrative throughline and a cute little callback at the end. My show mostly concentrates on being incredibly funny. And if you listen closely you might also just learn something in this uproarious ode to a failing empire. Support for Daniel Sloss.

Asmus will stop repeatedly to remind us that he’s joking. He’ll remind us he’s a liberal from Minnesota who attended the University of Wisconsin.
