LGBTQ+ sketch comedy show 'Mighty Real' returns to S.F.

"Mighty Real," a sketch variety show dedicated to joy and comedy inspired by the lives of queer people of color, is back in The City.

Tony Taylor, founder and producer of ItsQwere, sees Mighty Real not just as a night for some levity, but as a way to shine a light on enclaves of San Francisco's art scene that might not always get their due. Aside from sketches, acts and performances featured will include spoken word by Hilary Cruz Mejia, a radical poet and activist from the coast of Guatemala, and a parody rendition of Gwen Stefani's"Hollaback Girl," retitled"Stole It From a Black Girl."

"I think comedy has really been a survival tactic for anyone who presents, sounds or acts different from the societal norms," said Taylor."We're using comedy in this instance much like music and food, in that it brings together family, families, friends and communities. I want us to be creating a meal. It's not a potluck, but we're all working together to create something really delicious.
