Laughs on Paper

Join Jessica as she reads some puns, one liners and mom jokes from her book, “Dumb Jokes for Smart Folks”, some passages of her satire, and gives the audience a short instructional on “how to write a joke.” Maybe she’ll even play a funny song or two! Some of her special guest comedian friends will be present to read some of their funny writing and share some jokes, as well.
