In the video above, political funny man Scott Blakeman performs at Stand-up for Democracy and among other things, talks about voting—or attempting to vote—on the Upper East Side. He’s often on the road promoting “the two comedian solution to Middle East peace” but you can catch him in the neighborhood on June 26 when he headlines an evening at the Y billed as “Laughs from the Left: A Liberal Dose of Political Humor.” He’ll be joined by comedians Jane Condon and Jeff Kreisler, a writer for Comedy Central’s Indecision 2008 and winner of the Bill Hicks Spirit Award for thought-provoking comedy.
