He cited the recent rise in politically charged entertainment as encouraging to Bush Wars, saying that there are few contemporary movies that don’t have a political edge to them. Mentioning films such as Man of the Year, Borat, American Dreamz, he said that politics are infiltrating entertainment, because it is on people’s minds.

Despite the statements, Falzone believes that the show is very accessible for people who do not read the news daily.

“You don’t need to be a political guru to enjoy Bush Wars,” he said. “There are certain references that help, but it’s a funny show in general. It’s hard to overcome that if they already have the preconceived notion of ‘it’s current events, I don’t read the paper, I read People.’”

While the comedy in the performances can border on extreme, Falzone believes that if the comedy is making a point, the audiences will appreciate it.

“Sometimes we do get letters or flack, but the way that we pace ourselves is this – if we’re pushing the limits or being crass or we perceived as offensive – then we shouldn’t be doing it,” he said. “If it makes a point, the people who get offended look at what we’re saying, then it’s worth it.”

Citing a skit where Jesus and George perform the song “Bosom Buddies” in the Oval Office, Falzone explained the level of comedy sought after by the skit, saying that instead of mocking Jesus, they are mocking what the Bush administration has done to Jesus is.

“We’re not saying that this is Jesus. We’re saying this is how the right wing and Bush administration uses Jesus to their own end. And that’s why it’s so ridiculous. Anyone who gets offended by that is not looking at the number. They’re saying, ‘It’s dancing Jesus. That’s sacrilege.’ But we’re saying that what the Bush Administration is doing to Jesus is sacrilege. They’re using him as a tool.”

Bush Wars has finished its run in New York, and is considering going to San Francisco or London next. Either way, Falzone said the show has no plans of stopping its run anytime soon.

“We’re going to keep going in one way, shape or form until he’s out of the office.”
