Anthony Atamanuik and James Adomian’s Trump vs. Bernie remains as one of the best works of political comedy in the past decade.

Whether or not Trump gets actually impeached and thrown out of office to the curb and making this more fictional, you should never miss a chance for some of comedy’s best iterations of Donald Trump and Senator Bernie Sanders verbally spar to things that are both unbelievably hilarious, but incredibly prescient.

Trump vs. Bernie’s latest LA date will be Tues. Jan. 14th at 7:30PM at The Lodge Room in Highland Park. Tickets are $25-$30. Please go get them here.

Anthony Atamanuik and James Adomian, for our money, have the best Trump impression and Bernie Sanders impressions, respectively. The 2016 election cycle saw them bring their powers together to create the live show Trump vs. Bernie, which, went on a nationwide tour and got adapted for TV.

Leading up to the 2020 election, a real life match up between Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders might happen yet again, which is a great excuse to revive Trump vs. Bernie for a tour, which is exactly what’s happening.

Join Ataamnuik and Adomian at the Lodge Room in Highland Park on July 17th at 7:30PM to see Trump vs. Bernie rise yet again. Tickets are $30 and you can (and very much should) get them here.

“Trump vs Bernie” with Anthony Atamanuik and James Adomian Comes to a Close with Live Album

anthony atamanuik, comedy album, donald trump, james adomian, live in brooklyn, parody, political comedy, satire, trump vs bernie

It’s all official now.

The 2016 Presidential Election will be between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.

That’s unfortunate as this contest, with Bernie Sanders having dropped out, now has left the brilliant satirical parody of Trump vs. Bernie, orchestrated masterfully by Anthony Atamanuik and James Adomian hanging.

So, with that in mind, Atamanuik and Adomian have retired Trump vs. Bernie for now, but have made sure give us all one last parting gift: a Trump vs. Bernie album.

Trump vs. Bernie: Live in Brooklyn was just released yesterday on iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, Spotify, and will come out on vinyl in November.

Of all the political comedy in this election, Trump vs. Bernie stood out from the pack and you should definitely get their album to remember/find out what that was.

As Bernie Sanders has effectively dropped out of the presidential race, Anthony Atamanuik and James Adomian, the duo behind Trump vs Bernie, have to put their brilliant political comedy minds to use in another direction right now.

That direction now happens to be a parody of Chris Matthews, played by Adomian, interviewing a panel of Senator John McCain, Marco Rubio, and Reince Priebus, respectively played by Atamanuik, Ithamar Enriquez, and John Mihiser.

Together, they try to turn a blind eye while the Republican National Convention welcomes Donald Trump as their presidential nominee.

James Adomian’s Bernie Sanders Says Farewell After Real Sanders Endorses Hillary Clinton

Today, Senator Bernie Sanders endorsed Hillary Clinton in a move to unite Democrats in defeating Trump.

With that in mind, James Adomian, who has played Bernie in Trump vs. Bernie for awhile now, made this farewell message that the real Sanders should consider playing at his next public appearance.

Trump vs. Bernie has their second special coming up next week on Wednesday, May 11th at 9PM on Fusion.

Trump vs. Bernie continues to be some of the best comedy to come from this circus of an election in 2016.

Adding Eddie Pepitone in as a debate coach for Anthony Atamanuik’s masterful impression of Donald Trump is further proof of such a claim.

The line between reality and parody keeps getting more and more blurred.

CNN’s Brooke Baldwin sat down and chatted with Donald Trump and Senator Bernie Sanders as played by Anthony Atamanuik and James Adomian and was so dazzled by their impressions that she wasn’t quite sure how to go about the interview and whether to talk the characters or the players behind them.

Either way, seeing Trump vs. Bernie on CNN is a pretty solid win for us all.

Watch the interview here.
