SUMMARY:PORKCHOPZ
DESCRIPTION:Joseph Lombardo\, aka Porkchopz\, is blowing up across the internet for one reason—he says what everybody’s thinking and doesn’t give a damn who’s in the room. With over 300\,000 followers and 50+ viral videos pulling in millions of views\, he’s built a ruthless fanbase that lives for his signature callouts of “louuuzzza’z” and “reetahdz.” \nRepping his brand Porkchopz and PorkchopzComedy\, Joseph brings a raw\, New York Italian\, no-holds-barred energy to every stage he touches. He’s performed at legendary spots like the Laugh Factory and The Comedy Store\, and has opened for major headliners—but make no mistake\, he’s not there to warm up the crowd… he’s there to take it over. \nA staple at Governor’s Comedy Club on Long Island—his home club and the place where he became a problem—Joseph built his name in front of live crowds\, turning regular shows into chaos and leaving audiences roasted\, shocked\, and coming back for more. \nHis style? Aggressive crowd work\, savage roasts\, and zero filter. Nobody’s safe\, nothing’s off-limits\, and the audience is part of the show whether they like it or not. It’s loud\, it’s reckless\, it’s real—and somehow\, it’s all in good fun. \nIf you can’t take a joke\, stay home. If you can—you’re in for a night you won’t forget.

SUMMARY:Craig Gass
DESCRIPTION:Modern media insists we categorize talent– you know\, put folks in boxes according to their entertaining skill set. It works fine for the one-dimensional. He’s a movie star\, she’s a singer/songwriter\, he’s a comedian\, she’s a stripper. You get my drift. Which brings us to the hydra-headed multi-faceted\, standup comic\, impressionist\, actor\, renaissance freak (yes\, freak) genius\, Craig Gass. \nHis eclectic resume is scripted from two decades of working rooms\, following leads\, embarrassing and endearing strangers while building a modest and devoted fan base. Craig didn’t pursue a particular career path\, the career happened to Craig; in no small way thanks to his uncanny ability to capture the voice and idiosyncrasies of the celebrities he impersonates. \nCraig began doing standup in 1993 by hitting the grueling\, bumpy comedy circuit road and cultivating his craft in whatever crappy bar or club would have him. Shortly into the new millennium\, shock radio kingpin\, Howard Stern\, took Craig under his massive\, media wing. The Mt. Vernon\, New York son of deaf parents made frequent\, freaky appearances on Stern\, blowing listener minds with his uncanny impressions of notorious celebrities like Christopher Walken\, Gene Simmons\, Gilbert Gottfried\, Tracy Morgan\, Sam Kinison\, Al Pacino and Metallica drummer\, Lars Ulrich. This platform lead to Hollywood\, but not like you’d think.

SUMMARY:The 1619 Project: Community Conversations: MEDICINE
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday\, June 13 at 5:00PM Eastern for our 12th installment of The 1619 Project: Community Conversations. \nThere are many grievances regarding the actions taken by the current administration—too many to list individually. Many of you view our bookstore as a safe space to express your concerns and fears. 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.

SUMMARY:Craig Gass
DESCRIPTION:Modern media insists we categorize talent– you know\, put folks in boxes according to their entertaining skill set. It works fine for the one-dimensional. He’s a movie star\, she’s a singer/songwriter\, he’s a comedian\, she’s a stripper. You get my drift. Which brings us to the hydra-headed multi-faceted\, standup comic\, impressionist\, actor\, renaissance freak (yes\, freak) genius\, Craig Gass. \nHis eclectic resume is scripted from two decades of working rooms\, following leads\, embarrassing and endearing strangers while building a modest and devoted fan base. Craig didn’t pursue a particular career path\, the career happened to Craig; in no small way thanks to his uncanny ability to capture the voice and idiosyncrasies of the celebrities he impersonates. \nCraig began doing standup in 1993 by hitting the grueling\, bumpy comedy circuit road and cultivating his craft in whatever crappy bar or club would have him. Shortly into the new millennium\, shock radio kingpin\, Howard Stern\, took Craig under his massive\, media wing. The Mt. Vernon\, New York son of deaf parents made frequent\, freaky appearances on Stern\, blowing listener minds with his uncanny impressions of notorious celebrities like Christopher Walken\, Gene Simmons\, Gilbert Gottfried\, Tracy Morgan\, Sam Kinison\, Al Pacino and Metallica drummer\, Lars Ulrich. This platform lead to Hollywood\, but not like you’d think.
