Throughout history, “great men” have written some of our most important works — histories, novels, poems, plays — but are they really all that great? Drunk Education (the event formerly known as Drunk TED Talks) returns to poke holes and deflate the egos of even more writer men. Some roasts will be loving, some will be scathing, but no one will escape untouched. This time, The Point joins Drunk Ed to focus on “political comedy.” What is it? Why is it? Do we really need it now, more than ever? Featuring: Karen Chee on George Orwell, Eve Peyser on Andy Borowitz, Adam Valen Levinson on Jonathan Swift, and Rachel Wiseman on Kafka. More info & RSVP here.
