The Atomic Comic
Fran Peavey
Monday, 27 Feb 1989 at 8:00 pm – Maintenance Shop, Memorial Union
Fran Peavy, the Atomic Comic, uses global comedy to relieve the tedium of crisis-driven news reporting and brings a humorous perspective to current events. She is author of Heart Politics and her album is entitled "How to Read the Newspaper and Commit Other Acts of Bravery in the 1980s." From the University lectures Program archive.
Stay for the entire event, including the brief question-and-answer session that follows the formal presentation. Most events run 75 minutes.
Sign-ins are after the event concludes. For lectures in the Memorial Union, go to the information desk in the Main Lounge. In other academic buildings, look for signage outside the auditorium.
