The Great American Punchline Tour
In a painfully polarized America, a group of comedians journey through the middle of the country in the uneasy summer of 2024 to ask and answer one key question: Can comedy bring us together across our divides? From the heart of Appalachia to cheese curds in Milwaukee and Americana in Muncie and beyond, seven comedians embark on a bumpy bus tour to play and discover common ground—and the great American punchlines that bring us together. Featuring Negin Farsad, Chris Gethard, Corey Ryan Forrester, Yasmin Elhady, Dylan Adler, Maggie Crane and Ali Sultan.
