Minnesota New Year's tradition returns to The Parkway stage!
Comedian, media visionary, and co-creator of The Daily Show Lizz Winstead looks back on another year of American zaniness. Her brilliant observations and insights are just the catharsis we need right now.
Considered one of the nation's top political satirists, her new all-new comedy set, BADMEN and Some Crappy Women: A Comedy Purge of 2022, is the perfect way to celebrate as the year comes to a close.
This not-to-be-missed evening kicks off with a musical set by acclaimed acoustic guitarist,
Sam Breckenridge.
2022 has been next level. We had the fall of Roe V. Wade and the rise of Bro V Everything Else. In BADMEN and Some Crappy Women, Lizz Winstead will tackle it all. This is the 13th year Lizz has returned to the Twin Cities to hilariously roast the year that was, and this year will not disappoint.
A Twin Cities native, Lizz does these annual shows because she has always believed that humor is an effective way to shine a light on BS. “If you can laugh through the pain and the chaos, you still have hope,” Winstead says. “Gathering together to laugh, boo, and connect with your community is a great way to remind us all that we are in this together, and that helps people get through the hard times. I love coming back home and offering that to my beloved Twin Cities.”
Lizz is also excited to be returning to The Parkway, the theater where she launched this annual event, 13 years ago. One of only a handful of comedians whose act is ripped straight from the headlines, her brilliant observations and insights are just the catharsis we need right now.
ABOUT LIZZ WINSTEAD
As co-creator and former head writer of The Daily Show, and co-founder of Air America Radio, comedian Lizz Winstead helped change the very landscape of how people get their news. Winstead is not only a writer and creator, she was also a correspondent on The Daily Show and co-hosted Unfiltered, Air America Radio's mid-morning show, with Chuck D and Rachel Maddow.
Known as one of the top political satirists in America, Winstead is recognized by all the major media outlets including the New York Times, The Washington Post, O Magazine, and as Entertainment Weekly’s 100 Most Creative People. Her first book, Lizz Free Or Die: Essays, released in 2012, garnered incredible reviews. Ms. Magazine said, “Lizz Winstead is a sharp-witted truth-teller, and ‘Lizz Free or Die’ will inspire anyone who has ever talked back to the television or wished they could come up with satire as insightful as The Daily Show.”
Lizz continues to do stand-up, and make appearances on cable news, yet spends most of her time helming Abortion Access Front, an inclusive NYC- based reproductive rights organization she founded in 2015. AAF uses humor and outrage to expose anti-choice hypocrisy and mobilizes people to take action in all 50 states. The AAF podcast, Feminist Buzzkills Live!, is the perfect next step for Lizz combining her activism with her comedy. It is a must listen, new episodes drip Fridays wherever you get your podcasts.
