  • Enacting Cultural Citizenship Through Charged Humor
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: ‘WORKING THE CROWD’: ENACTING CULTURAL CITIZENSHIP THROUGH CHARGED HUMOR Rebecca A. Krefting, Ph.D., 2010 Directed By: Associate Professor Mary Corbin Sies, Department of American Studies Like many cultural practices, comic performance is one of a host of weapons in the arsenal of tactics, strategies, and offensive maneuverings available to individuals and communities seeking to redress inequitable distributions of wealth, power, rights, and cultural visibility. This dissertation examines contemporary jesters opting to use humor to develop community, instruct and mobilize audience members, and lobby for political and cultural inclusion. It is a kind of humor that illumines one’s position in a specific socio-political, historical matrix; it is humor that creates community and conversely demonstrates the ways in which one does not belong. An examination of the economy—the production, exchange, and consumption—of this humor reveals how and why comics produce charged humor or humor that illumines one’s status as second-class citizen and how this kind of humor is consumed in the US. I employ a mixed-methods qualitative approach using ethnography, archival research, and critical discourse analysis to investigate comic performances: stand-up comedy, sketch comedy, and one-woman shows. Throughout, I draw from dozens of contemporary comics performing in the US, but take as case studies: Robin Tyler, a Jewish lesbian comic and activist who is currently spearheading the marriage equality movement in California; Micia Mosely, a Brooklyn-based, Black, queer woman whose one-woman show, Where My Girls At?: A Comedic Look at Black Lesbians, is touring the country; and a group of young people (eighteen and under) participating in Comedy Academy programs (a non-profit arts education organization in Maryland), allowing them to author and perform sketch comedy.

CURRENTLY: BUNDLE OF ENERGY JUST ANOTHER REMARKABLE DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD Miles Coulson is defi nitely a force to be reckoned with. When he was just four months old he needed a heart. And the clock was ticking. So a team of doctors at Lucile Packard © 2007 Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Children’s Hospital came up with a bold plan – use a Berlin Heart, an artifi cial pump, until a transplant could be found. That the device had only been used a few times in the U.S. didn’t daunt them. They developed a protocol just for Miles. It was more than successful, it was groundbreaking for other pediatric heart patients. It’s this kind of innovative thinking, Lucile Packard combined with sensitive, nurturing care, that makes Packard Children’s a world-class Children’s Hospital hospital and Miles a world-class bundle of energy.

  • Comedian Helps Kent State Students Travel to Alabama for Historic Bowl Game
    COMEDIAN HELPS KENT STATE STUDENTS TRAVEL TO ALABAMA FOR HISTORIC BOWL GAME Contact: Mike Beder, Water Street Tavern [email protected], 330-815-0747 The Water Street Tavern in Kent is giving students a fun and easy way to get to Mobile, Ala. - with the help of a famous friend. Comedian and Kent State graduate John Caparulo has donated a significant amount of money to offset the price of the trip for students to see the Kent State Golden Flashes play in their first bowl game in 40 years. Kent State will face Arkansas State in the Go Daddy.com Bowl on Jan. 6. For one low price, students will enjoy a whirlwind trip that will take them to New Orleans for a Saturday night on the town, and then to Mobile to watch the Golden Flashes in the big bowl game. The subsidized price of $255 includes transportation, hotels, game ticket and commemorative t- shirt as well as some surprises. Complete details can be found at WaterStreetTavern.com/CapBus. "I had a great time at Kent State and would have loved to see Kent State play in a bowl game," said Caparulo. "Back then, we were just happy to beat Akron! But I remember not having much money as a student, and that's when gas was only a dollar. So I'm happy to help anyone who wants to go to the game be able to make the trip. Go Flashes!!" Water Street Tavern owner Mike Beder, who graduated from Kent State in 2000, was thrilled to hear of Caparulo’s interest in helping.
