Friends! Earthlings! Humans! Who are we, why are we here, and how did we get into the mess we’re in? Is there any hope for us and our species? In this widely acclaimed comic monologue, Wes `Scoop’ Nisker explores the foolish human condition and the joys and sorrows of living in the modern age. By placing today’s headlines in the context of biological evolution and all of human history, Mr. Nisker offers us the relief and laughter that only vast perspectives can bring. This is comedy for the rest of us.
