¡The Punctuation Show! (How to Use Tiny Symbols to Make Meaning Without %$^&#* Up)
Do you know your colon from your semicolon? Enjoy a fun-filled (and pun-filled) romp through the major punctuation marks, those that never quite took off, and some unorthodox uses of punctuation. Comedian Jennifer Dziura makes those tiny symbols on the printed page mean more than you ever imagined. Also, if you’ve ever wanted to volunteer to come on stage and punctuate something, this is your chance!
This is the New York premiere of a new show from pedantic humorist Jennifer Dziura, best known as co-host of the Williamsburg Spelling Bee.
“This actor/comedian takes lazy lexicographers to task. Better spell-check that love letter.” – TimeOut New York
