Join a roundtable of professional funny people for a lively conversation about comedy as a tool for social commentary.

Vermont-raised stand-up comedian Tina Friml, Emmy-nominated comedy writer Devin Delliquanti (The Onion, The Daily Show), actor and puppeteer Paul Zaloom (Beakman’s World), and American University professor Caty Borum (author of A Comedian and An Activist Walk Into a Bar: The Serious Role of Comedy in Social Justice and The Revolution Will Be Hilarious: Comedy for Social Change and Civic Power) muse on the role of comedy in education, awareness-building and civic engagement. How can the truth be mined for laughs? How can levity and laughter be a vehicle for satire and social critique? Moderated by Caty Borum.
