Montreal Just For Laughs: Wyatt Cenac Is No Freedom Fighter, Just a Furry Dumb Fighter

You probably recognize Wyatt Cenac from The Daily Show. Most people do. He was a standout correspondent on the show from 2008-2012, earning 2 Emmys and a WGA award along the way. But Wyatt is also an accomplished stand-up comedian, whose tone and subject matter certainly helped him land the gig, but go well beyond fake news stories pointing out the hilarious hypocrisy of political candidates or the actual news. The full spectrum of Cenac will be on display this week at the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal, as he performs a solo show called Furry Dumb Fighter at Cafe Cleopatra July 20-14.
