Away With Words: Standup and Puns at Q.E.D.


We’re heading up to Ditmars to get our pun on at Q.E.D. Join us there with author and pun-expert, Joe Berkowitz for a show celebrating his memoir, Away With Words. We promise puns, standup and books so…what are you waiting for?

In the ‘Away with Words’ show, author Joe Berkowitz will share funny stories about working on a book about pun competitions, welcome comedians Myq Kaplan and Christian Finnegan for some word-twisting standup sets, and bring out the Punderdome champions for a pun competition demonstration and some stories about what it’s like to be obsessed with words.

Joe Berkowitz is an editor and staff writer at Fast Company, covering entertainment and pop culture. He is the co-author of You Blew It!: An Awkward Look at the Many Ways in Which You’ve Already Ruined Your Life.
