SUMMARY:Jack Wild
DESCRIPTION:Jack Wild is a Connecticut-based stand-up comedian who finds the humor hiding in adulthood: marriage\, raising two daughters\, surviving a 25-year corporate career\, getting older\, attempting to stay healthy\, and slowly realizing that nobody actually knows what they’re doing. \nA regular performer throughout Connecticut and New York City\, Jack performs monthly with Circle Comedy in Norwalk and holds a recurring monthly spot at Comix Roadhouse at Mohegan Sun. He has also performed at New York Comedy Club\, The Grisly Pear\, Laughing Buddha Comedy\, and venues throughout the region. \nJack’s comedy is honest\, observational\, self-deprecating\, and just unhinged enough to say what everyone else is thinking. Drawn directly from his own life\, his material covers marriage\, parenting\, drinking\, aging\, hair loss\, health fads\, golf\, travel\, and the growing divide between his generation and the one currently trying to cancel it. \nThere are no gimmicks and no characters. Just real life\, one microphone\, a well-worn blazer\, and a man confidently explaining things he may not completely understand. \nJack doesn’t simply tell jokes to an audience; he brings them into the conversation. If you’ve ever wondered when everyone else received the instruction manual for adulthood\, Jack Wild’s comedy special is exactly where you belong.

In response\, we have been active listeners and have provided support in various forms. \nTo help galvanize our voices\, we’ve launched Community Conversations\, a monthly gathering to discuss the impact of current events. Using The 1619 Project as our guide\, we will focus on the themes of each chapter to deepen our understanding of what is happening and how we can better equip ourselves during this challenging time. Where possible\, we will have subject matter experts to lead the discussions\, but we will also rely on each other’s insights.
