SOLD OUT - John Hodgman: Medallion Status: True Stories From Secret Rooms

Join us for a conversation with comedian, actor and writer John Hodgman about his latest book, "Medallion Status: True Stories from Secret Rooms." Hodgman will be interviewed by Jen Deaderick, who has written about gender and citizenship for the New York Times, Huffington Post, Experience and Dame.

Hodgman is the author of the acclaimed collection of funny true stories called "Vacationland: True Stories from Painful Beaches." He also wrote three books of fake facts and invented trivia, all of them New York Times Bestsellers, and his writing has also appeared in The Paris Review, This American Life, The New Yorker and Mad Magazine.

After an appearance to promote his books on “The Daily Show,” he was invited to return as a contributor, serving as the show’s “Resident Expert” and “Deranged Millionaire.”

This led to an unexpected and, frankly, implausible career before the camera, becoming the “Personal Computer” in a series of commercials for Apple computer, and more recently playing recurring roles in FX’s "Married," HBO’s "Bored To Death," Cinemax’s "The Knick."

He has performed comedy for The President of the United States, at the TED conference and in a crypt in Green-Wood Cemetery. His apocalyptic comedy special "Ragnarok" is available on Netflix, and his subsequent one man comedy shows have played to sold out audiences in many nice theaters around the country and in Canada.

Finally, he is the host of the popular Judge John Hodgman podcast, where he settles serious disputes between real people, such as “Is a hot dog a sandwich?” and “Should we tell our children the TRUTH about Santa Claus.” He also contributes a weekly column under the same name for The New York Times Magazine.
