Dave Smith: Libertas

Sep 11, 2017

Stand up comedian and political commentator Dave Smith's first hour special with the GaS Digital Network.

Dave has a fresh approach to political comedy. He doesn't simply align blindly with one side of the political spectrum like many of his contemporaries but would rather call bullsh*t on both sides.
