Meet your hosts, Abas Idris and Phil Surkis

Abas Idris and Phil Surkis take an "a" out of Oakland on their a sketch/conversation/comedy/other show. 

THE HOSTS: 
Abas Idris is a comedian, writer and storyteller. With a masters in Communication, he explores the nuisance but powerful ways meanings are negotiated between cultural, racial and social differences. Most importantly he puts peanut butter in his oatmeal. 

After leading a Seder, **Phil Surkis** (pronounced Circus) was inspired to try comedic storytelling, and liked it. Performance wise, he is a regular on the Solo Sundays series at Stage Werx, and has performed at The Marsh, Starline Social Club, Freight & Salvage, and many other spots around the bay. He's also a podcast producer for Kamau Right Now, Politically Re-Active, Feminist Frequency Radio, Dear Prudence, and his own Spice Cabinet.
