DENIS LEARY @ THE WILBUR
In an America so gluten-free that a box of jelly donuts is now a bigger threat than Vladimir Putin, where college kids are more afraid of Ann Coulter than HIV, it’s time for someone to stand up & make us all smell the covfefe. Dr. Denis Leary is that guy.
With WHY WE DON’T SUCK: & How All of Us Need to Stop Being Such Partisan Little Bitches, Denis is on a devoted mission to #MakeAmericaLaughAgain. Using the clamorous political atmosphere as a starting point, he’s taking a bipartisan look at the topics we all hold so dear to our patriotic hearts—including family, freedom, & the seemingly endless search for fame & diet vodka.
