Stoney Burke (performer)

"[2] He was adopted at the age of 3 and grew up north of Detroit in the village of Romeo with parents who were active in the civil rights movement.

He moved to the San Francisco Bay area in 1977 to study mime with Leonard Pitt, and soon began performing and commenting on current events.

"[2] In one notable incident, an officer on the campus of UCLA wrote up a police report declaring Burke's mouth a "weapon".

[3] Burke performs political comedy on college campuses, most notably at the University of California, Berkeley, near Sather Gate.

Burke routinely engages crowds throughout the day using conservative Republican perspectives as his primary satire subject matter.
