KOLI TENGELLA (Co-Lee) (Ten-gay-la) Koli Tengella's electrifying stage presence is a fusion of gut busting humor with political and social consciousness. This sums up his unique style as a stand up comedian, writer and widely sought after commentator. From describing President Bush's struggle with the English language, " Bush claims to be having a war on Terrorism. Have you listened to the man speak. The only thing he is having a war on is subjects and verbs ! " , to declaring Democrats as the political party of the spineless to hysterical observations of the challenges of everyday life." Caller ID is not an answering machine. If you call me and don't leave a message I..m not calling you back!", this hilarious insightfulness is the comedy of Koli Tengella.
