Learn to love cats and hate capitalism (if you don't already)! Curious about the fascist coup going on in the United States? Want to get the low down with punchlines because this world needs a spoonful of sugar to go down? Ron Placone has been a political comic (their designation, not his) since 2007, and he’s been witnessing the decline pretty much ever since the Iraq War jolted him awake. Ron will take you on a journey through politics, culture, travel, relationships, and just to give a bit of relief, how he copes with it all.

About the show

Anti-Fascist Pasta Night is a free political stand-up show at Flight Club, part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Ron Placone, a political comic since 2007, takes audiences on a journey through politics, culture, travel, and relationships, drawing on his experiences since the Iraq War. The show addresses the current political climate in the United States with punchlines rather than despair, and also explores how Placone copes with it all. The show runs for 60 minutes and is recommended for audiences aged 14 and over.

Why see this show?

Political comedy grounded in genuine long-term observation rather than hot takes. Placone has been watching the decline for a long time, and uses that perspective to find the absurd as well as the alarming.
