Dartmouth Events

The Dartmouth Political Union and the Dartmouth Jack-o-Lantern will co-host a bipartisan panel on political satire, featuring Mike Gillis '12, head writer of the left-leaning political humor publication The Onion, Jeremy McLellan, a stand-up comedian and media activist, and Evan Sayet, conservative comedian and creator of The Right to Laugh – a night of Conservative Comedy.

These panelists will discuss their experiences in political satire, the role of comedic relief in politics, and give a taste of their own political humor. This event will showcase the role of political humor in today’s highly divided, partisan moment, and will provide insight from a bipartisan, experienced group of political comedians. Politics Parodied will be moderated by Professor Deborah Brooks (Department of Government).

Politics Parodied will take place in Loew Auditorium (BVAC) on Wednesday, November 2nd at 7 p.m. The event is open to all members of the Dartmouth and Hanover community. Seating is first come, first served. The event will be live streamed and uploaded to the Dartmouth Political Union YouTube. 

With support from the the Department of Film and Media Studies, the Department of English and Creative Writing, the Rockefeller Center, and the Offices of the President, Provost, and Dean of the College.
