Get ready for a lively, laugh-filled luncheon as Richard Lederer, Union-Tribune language columnist and internationally acclaimed wordsmith, joins Kiwanis San Diego for a playful and insightful program on the joy of language.

In Jest for the Pun of It, Dr. Lederer will explain what a pun is (and why we love — or groan at — them) while performing some of the funniest and most clever puns ever created. Expect sharp wit, literary charm, and plenty of laughs as he celebrates the quirks and creativity of the English language.

Richard Lederer is the author of 65 books on language, history, and humor, including A Feast of Words, American History for Everyone, Anguished English, and Jest for the Pun of It. He is a founding co-host of the nationally broadcast radio program “A Way With Words” on KPBS, has been named International Punster of the Year, and is a recipient of Toastmasters International’s Golden Gavel Award.

Dr. Lederer will be signing books at the meeting, offering attendees the opportunity to take home a signed copy of his work.

Don’t miss this entertaining and intellectually playful luncheon — it’s guaranteed to be pun-forgettable.
