From ABC, Comic Strip Live, VH-1 and the creators of Shecky Magazine Brian McKim and Traci Skene Brian McKim began doing stand-up comedy in late 1981, at an open mic at the Comedy Works in Philadelphia. He mounted the stage dressed as an eight-foot crayon and did five minutes of (what else?) crayon jokes. The rest is comedy history. In 1983 he hit the road and perfected his act in comedy clubs, casinos and colleges in over 300 cities and 46 states (and Canada). After moving to Los Angeles in 1988, he appeared on numerous television shows including ABC's "Into the Night starring Rick Dees", "Comic Strip Live" and VH-1's "Stand-Up Spotlight". In 1992 Brian began writing comedy for Fox's "Comic strip Live" and moved back to his native New Jersey with his wife Traci Skene. Together they launched SheckyMagazine.Com, the internet's only magazine devoted to stand-up comedy. A comedy duo that can not be missed. Riot Act Comedy Club is located at 1610 14th Street, NW.

Liars
Where: 9:30 Club
Date: 2008-02-12 19:30:00
Type:
The noisy, angular post-punk outfit Liars came along at just the right moment: Their 2001 debut 'They Threw Us All In Trench And Stuck A Monument On Top' came out at a time when indie-rockers wanted to do nothing more than hang out in Brooklyn, rediscover dancing and listen to Gang of Four-inspired post-punk. What made this foursome more than just trend-surfers was the fierce, genuinely psychotic brio they brought to this magic formula. No Age is an experimental/powerpop/punk band from Los Angeles, California and features D. Spunt, R. Randall, D. Stone and B. Torst.

The Leaders We Deserved (and a Few We Didn’t): Rethinking th...
Where: The Heritage Foundation

Host: The Heritage Foundation. It’s a perennial pastime to rate U.S. Presidents on an all-time ranking: Certain Presidents were “Great,” others were “Near-Great,” and so on down to “Failures” and “Unmitigated Disasters.” (OK, we made that last category up.) But as Alvin Felzenberg points out, there are many flaws with these rating systems. Despite reams of new historical information, the rankings never seem to change very much. They all favor a certain kind of President—those who tended to increase executive power. That aside, the idea of rating presidential performance on a simple linear scale is absurd. The Leaders We Deserved (and a Few We Didn’t) breaks presidential performance into easily understandable categories—character, vision, competence, foreign policy, economic policy, human rights, and legacy—and assesses, for each category, the best and worst. The result is a surprisingly fresh look at how our various Presidents stack up against each other, with some of the “greats” coming off far worse than their supposedly mediocre colleagues. Alvin S. Felzenberg teaches at the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania. He was the principal spokesman for the 9/11 Commission, an advisor to the Department of Defense and the Voice of America, and served in several senior staff positions at the U.S. House of Representatives as well as New Jersey’s Assistant Secretary of State.
