Baratunde Thurston, Comedian, Author and Vigilante Pundit

by Scott Beale on August 13, 2007 · 2 comments

It was great seeing Baratunde Thurston again at Gnomedex 2007. I first met Baratunde last year at SXSW Interactive 2006 and he’s a funny comedian, author and vigilante pundit who recently relocated to New York and is now an official ComedyCentral.com comedian. Here’s a video of his May 5th performance at the The Comedy Studio at Harvard Square in Cambridge.

At the recent Yearly Kos Convention, Baradunde opened up for Howard Dean.

The way you and Baratunde are posed looks like the the Stephen Colbert “black friend” photo in reverse.
