The boys (Abas Idris and Phil Surkis) are back in town, talkin' 'bout gratitude, coffee, comedy, boundaries, love, life, and coffee again.

More Than Okay

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.
