MRSOE! is a stand-up comedy show that finds and features the best multicultural comedians in North America. Since 2005, the mission of the show has been to unabashedly push diversity and multiculturalism by bringing comedians and audiences together of all colors, cultures, and creeds and showing that we can all hang out and laugh together.
“In 2005, I created The Most RACES Show on Earth! to not only showcase some of the funniest stand-up comics, but I also wanted to use it as a platform to create dialogue about race and culture,” says Bansil, creator and producer of MRSOE! “It’s important to me to be able to give audiences access to comedians from many different cultural backgrounds in an effort to show that no matter who is on stage, their perspectives on life are not that different.”
Comics Uncensored, Possibly Unleashed
On Tuesday, April 11th, The Most RACES Show on Earth! will unabashedly put the topic of race front and center. Comedians will be uncensored and free to speak their truths about race, culture and everything in between. The truth may shock some, but Bansil says, “There is shock value in the truth, but it’s that initial shock that helps us to better understand one another.”
