Laughing Through Politics: The Rise of Congressman Curly
If you enjoy this episode of the Lean to the Left podcast, please like and subscribe! We have many more thought-provoking discussions lined up that you won't want to miss.
Now, join us on 'Lean to the Left' as we welcome guest Tony Zorc, a former independent presidential candidate turned comedian, who is now performing as 'Congressman Curly.'
Through a comedy tour combining stand-up, music, and storytelling, Curly humorously roasts both political parties in an effort to promote political unity and address the divisive climate in America.
Tony shares his personal journey, sparked by a family tragedy, and explains how it led him from a successful career in business to performing on stage. With zero prior experience in comedy or music, Tony is redefining political discourse, advocating for change by creating two new political parties committed to term limits and citizen-only funding.
Tune in as we learn about Congressman Curley's unique approach and his mission to bridge the political divide.
