The people who brought you Journopalooza — an odd quasi-battle of the bands-of-journalists that my band played to entertain such Washington eminences as then-CIA Director Mike Hayden — are at it again with a laff-a-thon called Commedia dell Media tonight at the National Press Club. Laugh at the stand-up stylings of radio personality Jamila Bey, Conde Nast/TPM’s Matt Cooper, David Corn of Mother Jones, Newsweek’s Mark Hosenball, Bloomberg’s Scott Lanman, U.S. News and World Report’s Anna Mulrine, the Washington Post’s Delphine Schrank, longtime WUSA anchor Mike Walter, UPI’s Shaun Waterman, and McClatchy’s Nancy Youssef. You know, because this is a fantastic time for journalism and everything’s funny. Don’t quit your day jobs, if you’ve still got them. (Sorry, Shaun.)

7 p.m., $20 at the door, $15 in advance.
