Hunter Gatherer: The Agricultural Revolution and How It Ruined My Life

Alex TitkovProfessional company

50 minutesJust The Spare Room
A comedy show against every society of the past 12,000 years and their dire consequences. Not just against the industrial revolution and feudalism, but against written language, sedentary lifestyle, hierarchies, racism, spam mail, gender roles and alcohol. In support of nomadism, free camping and psychedelics. Let's take the Unabomber a step forward by taking his logic a step back. Let's explore the primitive anarchists that humans used to be by juxtaposing their lifestyle with ours, through observational comedy and political commentary.
