Description:
Recorded live at the sold-out 2003 Paramount Comedy Festival in Brighton, stand-up comedian Robert Newman presents *From Caliban to the Taliban*: 500 Years of Humanitarian Intervention. It's a meticulously researched exploration of capitalist expansion and America’s global "terror campaign," all presented with a veneer of good intentions. Few comedians have tried to connect a 1609 Bermuda shipwreck to U.S. involvement in Guatemala, weaving in figures like Shakespeare and Sir Francis Bacon. It might not seem like a laugh riot, but Newman has cleverly laced this unusual comedic exploration with the humor that made him well-known.
