You’ve gotta be veepin’ kidding me! It’s the fast talking, hammer swinging, uninhibited, unscripted, awards darling VEEP! Armando Iannucci, Scottish satirist, created this originally about the English government and let it explode in the world of the vice presidency in the US.

Headed by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, as the fictional VEEP Selina Meyer, and backed up by improv and acting powerhouses Tony Hale, Anna Chlumsky, Reid Scott, Timothy Simons, Sufe Bradshaw, and Matt Walsh. Join us as we take a fond look at what our democracy was like in (looks at calendar) ugh 2012…
