Up Close & Political: The Gun Show is September 2nd.

Up Close & Political is the show where comedians do standup on the big issue of the month followed by a discussion with experts and the audience.

The topic is guns, so we'll be using the first amendment to talk about the second in a well-regulated discussion with no background checks required.

Featuring an incredible panel, including:

Erroll Southers, current director of Safe Communities Institute at USC; former California Deputy Director of Homeland Security, FBI agent and LAPD officer.

Susan Shelley, conservative opinion columnist for 11 newspapers including the OC Register and LA Daily News and VP of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association.

Josh Stepakoff, board member of Women Against Gun Violence and mass shooting survivor.

Steph Tolev, winner of the Canadian Comedy Award for 'Best Female Standup' and seen on Comedy Central's "Up Next" and "Corporate"!

Joe Carl AbouSakher, Tennessee native, Funniest Comic in LA Finalist and host of the "Hometown Heroes" podcast!

Hosted as always by Toby Muresianu of Comedy Central's Roast Battle.
