All puns are intended! Calling all lovers of dad jokes: San Diego's ONLY pun competition (as seen on CBS8 Morning Extra) is back on Friday, November 4 at 10:00 p.m. on the Finest City Improv main stage! Watch, laugh, groan, or JOIN word nerds from across the city in a battle to see who's the punniest of them all—and win prizes! Pundemonium! is a three-part event based on the format used by pun contests in cities nationwide: - In Part 1, Battle of the PUNdits, participants who have signed up in advance will deliver two-minute pun-filled speeches, and the audience will determine the winner. - In Part 2, PUNslingers, punsters get two minutes to write down as many puns on a given topic as they can. May the best and most puns win. Sign up on the spot at Pundemonium! - Part 3, the PUNger Games, is a head-to-head pun-off tournament-style, where participants go back and forth making puns on a given topic until they just can't anymore. Think of it as a rap battle, but with puns. Sign up on the spot at Pundemonium! The event will be hosted by Sarah Flocken, two-time champion of Beltway Pundits in Washington, D.C., plus 2021 panel judge and 2022 competitor at the O.

Join guest chef Michelle McKenzie, most recently the author of “The Modern Larder: From Anchovies to Yuzu, a Guide to Artful and Attainable Home Cooking” for a class that strategically uses pantry and fridge staples to elevate vegetarian dishes to main-course status. Michelle’s new book features dozen of pantry items, but we’ll highlight just a few, like chickpea flour, labneh, beans, curry leaves, turmeric and kombu. Having these humble ingredients on hand makes it easy to transform vegetables into something special In this class we will: • Make Chickpea Flour Pancakes, topped with a spoonful of creamy labneh or topped with a soft-cooked egg. • Learn to make White Beans with Tomato and Curry Leaf. As we cook, you’ll get a glimpse into Michelle’s cooking philosophy, which depends on a well-stocked larder that equips you to add flavor without adding time to your cooking. Date | Sunday, January 30 from 12 p.m. to 1:15 p.m. Location | Online Register here! Admission is $25 per person, plus fees. This cooking class is brought to you by Milk Street Cooking School.
