2010-2011 Annual Theme: “Comedy”
Comedy has enlivened literature and language through the ages. It may be light-hearted or dark-spirited, risqué or wry, intricately complex or incredibly simple-minded. Comedic forms range from farce to irony, from satire to sarcasm, from puns to parody, from comedy of manners to commedia dell’arte.

“The Language of the Stand-Up Comic: Reflecting and Affecting Society”
Known as “The Biggest Name in Comedy,” Costaki Economopoulos creates little “a-ha” moments with humor often described as smart, hip, insightful, and socially relevant. His jokes have appeared on The Tonight Show and The Late Show, but he is best known for “The Economonologue,” a weekly segment on the syndicated Bob and Tom Radio Show.
