On Friday April 3, the National Press Club will put the FUN back into fundraiser with Commedia dell Media, an evening of comedy hosted by WTOP's 'Man About Town' Bob Madigan and featuring performances by a roster of DC's most respected journalists.
Pessimism and economic doom may dominate the headlines, but on April 3 these reporters will cast off that pall of gloom by voraciously scratching the comedic underbelly of their industry. Conde Nast's Matt Cooper, radio personality Jamila Bey, Bloomberg's Scott Lanman, David Corn of Mother Jones, and UPI's Shaun Waterman will exercise their infamous comedic chops; Newsweek's Mark Hosenball will sing an ode to the scoundrels of Wall Street; McClatchy's Nancy Youssef, Anna Mulrine of US News, long-time WUSA anchor Mike Walter, and the Washington Post's Delphine Schrank will premiere their comic stylings on the NPC stage.
Much more than a simple night of laughter and cocktails, the proceeds of Commedia dell Media will benefit two causes close to the hearts of the performers. The Eric Friedheim Library at the National Press Club provides cutting-edge training for journalists and assists with research for reporters, authors and academics. Reporters Without Borders is the Paris-based non-profit dedicated to protecting journalists’ rights, fighting censorship, and promoting freedom of expression.
The reporters taking the stage at Commedia dell Media will enjoy absolute freedom of expression, though rumors have already begun been circulating that a rogue band of flacks may be plotting a surprise attack of heckling.
