In “Class Clown,” America’s favorite wiseass Dave Barry takes us on a hilarious ride, starting with a childhood largely spent throwing rocks for entertainment—there was no internet. Barry shares stories from his education, his career in journalism, his multiple runs for president (all so far without success), and his life as a bestselling humor writer. “Class Clown” isn’t just a memoir; it’s a vibrant celebration of a life rich with humor, absurdity, joy, and sadness. Dave says the most important wisdom imparted by his Midwestern parents was never to take anything too seriously. This laughter-filled book is proof that he learned that lesson well.


INDIVIDUAL TICKET $35 (Admits ONE and includes one copy of “Class Clown")

OR

PACKAGE TICKET $45 (Admits TWO and includes one copy of “Class Clown”)
