Barry Crimmins comedy special filmed in Lawrence now available online

Political satirist and activist Barry Crimmins

“Whatever Threatens You,” the stand-up special from veteran comedian Barry Crimmins that was filmed in Lawrence earlier this year, is now available online.

Crimmins, you may remember, originally visited Lawrence for a screening of the Bobcat Goldthwait documentary “Call Me Lucky” (which detailed the political satirist’s life and work, including his advocacy on behalf of victims of childhood sex abuse) during the 2015 Free State Festival. He returned to the Lawrence Arts Center stage in June to film “Whatever Threatens You,” which was produced and directed by superstar comedian Louis C.K.

The special is available for streaming on C.K.’s website, www.louisck.net, for $5.
