Journalist Katherine Lanpher interviews comedian and writer Michael Showalter at Barnes & Noble tonight at 7pm. Showalter is known best for his roles in MTV's The State, the hilarious classic Wet Hot American Summer, and for being Ian Michael Black's other comedic half in the television show Michael and Michael. He's released a new memoir called Mr. Funny Pants. We have a feeling he's lived through some pretty entertaining situations. There will also be a free show by Neko Case (of New Pornographers). She'll be performing songs from her album Middle Cyclone.
