Feel the News with Marcela Onyango at Woke Mob Comedy Festival

Come Feel the News with Marcela Onyango! Feel the News is an anti-capitalist, anti-fascist comedy experience where comedian and writer Marcela Onyango tells you how to feel about the news, cultural moments and other random things that are happening to us. There will be books, inspirational guests, and general chaos that will have you asking why aren’t we revolting!

About the Woke Mob Comedy Festival
The woke mob is rising up! With an absolutely unhinged dedication to diversity, bodily autonomy, and democracy itself, we are undrainable swamp people who work hard every day to keep our home in the DMV culturally hostile to the fascists in power. And honestly? We deserve to have fun while we do it.

The Woke Mob Comedy Festival celebrates everything that makes this region the best, even as the rest of the country sends us its worst. We’re showcasing the DMV’s funniest comedians, especially highlighting BIPOC, women, LGBTQ+ and gender-queer performers, plus a few “prodigal” comics who got their start here before heading national. Check out the full festival schedule here.
It'll be hilarious, joyful, AND every show gives back! With our neighbors under attack, we're raising funds for local organizations that are helping some of our region's most vulnerable. A percentage of ticket sales from this show go to Amica Center for Immigrant Rights.
