Always current events. This performance focused on the election but had a few other things as well, like the Pope and global warming.
When you go you have to leave your personal politics outside. Everyone does usually, but tonight there were two Trump supporters who demonstrated they are as obnoxious as Trump himself. The even cheered Vladimir Putin until they realized that they were putting him down. Then they started heckling.

The actor on stage caught and replied very nicely with "It means that short man is going to drown"
The audience loved the take down.
