"I Never Saw Another Butterfly"
The house is dark. You are alone. You hear a noise! Never mind, it was nothing. You turn on the television and you see the most fear inspiring, jaw-droppingly terrifying person. It’s Stephen Colbert.
Ever since the 2001 cult classic smash "Super Troopers," comedy troupe Broken Lizard has made a name for themselves as a group serious about shenanigans. The group - consisting of members Jay Chandrasekhar, Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter and Erik Stolhanske - saw its fame and fan base grow with the release of "Beerfest" in 2006. Soon after that, audiences were clamoring for another one of their outrageous comedies. But fear not, ever-faithful fans - relief is on the way. The long awaited "The Slammin' Salmon" is set to be released the second week of December.

Many have seen Nick Swardson in one of his hilarious and extremely out-landish roles, like the awkward, friendly Bed, Bath and Beyond employee in “Click,” the “Dance Dance Revolution” pro and uncomfortable virgin in “Grandma’s Boy” or the awkward and flamboyant repeat offender Terry on “RENO 911!” We could pretty much sum up Nick Swardson as one awkward individual, and he loves to flaunt it.
The buzz around the show “Jersey Boys” has been significant ever since it won the Tony Award for Best New Musical in 2006. The show’s cross-country tour is currently playing at the National Theatre in D.C., and after seeing the show, you’ll certainly walk away thinking, “Oh, what a night!”

Throughout the years, millions of scholars have studied the works of the great Bard from Stratford; his plays are legendary and his sonnets are world-famous. But many believe that it was not the man from Stratford who wrote the works we praise William Shakespeare for, and you would be hard-pressed to find any scholar more enthusiastic about the topic than Dr. Felicia Londre. She recently made a visit to AU, where she presented her views on the Oxfordian theory of Shakespeare’s true identity.
Horace Walpole, a historian and politician in the 18th century, once said the following: “The world is a tragedy to those who feel, but a comedy to those who think.” Renowned for her quick wit and her off-the-fly banter, Paula Poundstone is most definitely one of those who think. Not only a standup comedian, she is also a single mom, a writer and a regular panelist on the NPR show “Wait Wait...Don’t Tell Me!” where she is known for her snappy quips about current events and politics. This weekend, Poundstone will be bringing her unique brand of comedy to the Birchmere in Alexandria, Va.
