Abas &amp; Phil present a sketch inspired by the activity around Lake Merritt this past summer. Abas shares about playground therapy, and Phil may dye his beard. So much more. o.k. land is a sketch/conversation/comedy and other show hosted by: Abas Idris -  is a comedian, writer and storyteller. With a masters in Communication, he explores the nuanced but powerful ways meanings are negotiated between cultural, racial and social differences. Most importantly he puts peanut butter in his oatmeal. After leading a Seder, Phil Surkis (pronounced Circus) was inspired to try comedic storytelling, and liked it. Performance wise, he is a regular on the Solo Sundays series at Stage Werx, and has performed at The Marsh, Starline Social Club, Freight &amp; Salvage, and many other spots around the Bay Area. He's also a podcast producer for Kamau Right Now, Politically Re-Active, Feminist Frequency Radio, Dear Prudence, and his own Spice Cabinet.
