DC Comedy Fest This Weekend – See Jack Live

8 Aug 2008 Author: Baratunde Thurston (Jack Turner)

Hey fam,

Tomorrow I’m doing the DC Comedy Festival

7:30pm at The Comedy Spot in Arlington. (Ballston Mall)

“Laughing Liberally” political standup

3pm – Panel on Comedy and Politics

at Town Dance Boutique in NW DC

Actually, politics can be HILARIOUS. It’s fodder for the late night monologues, blogs, parody shows and more. The question is, do these shows now influence the political discourse – even political OUTCOMES – more than the politics influence the punchlines? Join us and our exciting panel of experts to find out!

Panelists scheduled to appear include:

Mike Allen, Chief Political Correspondent, Politico(moderator)
Michael Cavna, Style TV/Theater Editor & Comics Blogger, The Washington Post
Pete Grosz, Writer, “The Colbert Report”
Joe Medeiros, Head Writer, “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno”
Jaline Quinto, Communications Director, DC VOTE
Baratunde Thurston, Web Editor, “The Onion” – “War for the Whitehouse” Series
Lizz Winstead, Comedian, Writer, Co-Creator of “The Daily Show”
Eddie Brill, comedy booker for “Late Night with David Letterman”
