BD: COMEDY LUNCH HOUR WITH MIKE PARAMORE
2024-03-11 11:30 - 12:30 (America/Chicago)
Mike Paramore is the guy you fight to sit next to in a movie theatre, on a long car ride, or during a boring lecture. His natural ability to infuse everyday situations with energetic, uplifting humor, combined with a natural ability to put you at ease is key to his personal brand of comedy.
His smooth delivery and powerful punchlines make him a force in stand-up comedy, which is very apparent in his debut album “The Things We Tell Ourselves”, available now on iTunes and Amazon.
In addition to performing at the 2010 Stellar Awards and being a part of the 2012 Just for Laughs Festival, Mike was a finalist in the 2014 World Series of Comedy in Las Vegas, winner of the 2015 Cleveland Comedy Festival, winner of the 2016 Laughing Devil Festival in New York City, and winner of the 2017 Laugh Fest’s Best in the Midwest competition.

Love Conquers Hate: Documentary & Panel
2024-02-29 16:00 - 18:00 | Fond du Lac Campus, Conference Center
An Afghan refugee comes face to face with a former U.S. Marine who has secret plans to bomb their mosque… until Mac McKinney’s plan takes an unexpected turn. Join us for a viewing of the powerful, 30-minute documentary “Stranger at the Gate.” Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Malala Yousafzai is Executive Producer for the documentary, which was an Academy Award Nominee for Best Documentary Short Film.
The viewing will be followed by a panel discussion with special guests:
Mac McKinney returned from the armed services filled with rage toward Muslims. He made a plan to blow up a mosque… then a trip to the mosque changed the course of his life, and McKinney eventually became the mosque President.
Chris Buckley served in the U.S. Army, then joined the KKK. An intervention by a former white power skinhead and a Kurdish refugee helped Buckley exit extremism. He now helps deradicalize people caught up in extremism and provides coping skills for veterans and police officers.
The event will be held in the MPTC’s FDL Campus Conference Center. Please use Parking Lot C and Door O2. The general public are welcome to attend, and parking is free. This event is hosted by MPTC Diversity Relations in collaboration with nonprofit We Are Many – United Against Hate.
