Free every Sunday at the Verdugo, L.A.

We caught Hellwig at Friendship Buddies Comedy at the Verdugo in L.A. His comedy caught our attention because of some shocking truths he reveals. He plays it dangerous, and that's what American comedians are for. If it's not saying out loud what we're thinking then it ought to be revealing what should be known. The truth hurts, but the truth is the only way to go when Hollywood, DC, and the mainstream media are propagandist fantasy factories.
