Shoot The Messenger is comedy troupe performing a satirical wrap-up of the week’s news from the brain of Daily Show Co-creator Lizz Winstead. A live sketch-comedy show incorporating multi-media elements, it gives us the world as seen through the filters Wake-Up World, Americas only 6-hour morning show. Wake-up World is the flagship news show on “24/7” – possibly the worst twenty-four cable news network-ever.
There will be indictment, both hilarious and scathing - not only of the newsmakers, but of the news media that molds them. Shoot The Messenger will give the audience a glimpse into the behind the scenes decision making at a news network, and the process that brings those decisions to the air.
Of course not everyone in the media gets a flogging; those who are doing great work will be celebrated.
Each week Lizz’ll interview a media figure who digs deep and gets it right. They’ll give us the lowdown on the big stories that were buried (or ignored) by our pals of the over at the corporate run media.
Past guests have included Chuck D, Roseanne, Mo Rocca, Rachel Maddow, Susie Essman, Ed Begley, Jr., Mark Crispin Miller, David Rees, Nick Flynn, Ted Rall, Craig Unger, John Bowe, Marie Wilson and Paul Rieckhoff.
The writers, actors and producers of Shoot The Messenger come from Air America Radio and The Daily Show and represent some of the best political comics and writers working today.
