The following description comes from the event organizer.

JAMIE LOFTUS

Emmy award-nominated writer and comedian Jamie Loftus may still have three of her baby teeth, but now she also has Raw Dog: The Naked Truth About Hot Dogs, her debut book that is part travelogue, part culinary history, all capitalist critique AND all good! Before her deep-dive into the history of American meats, she wrote and starred in her own web series for Comedy Central, and regularly works on viral videos for Super Deluxe. As for her comedy, it often borders on performance art: she has dated an American Girl doll, sold “Shrek nudes” on Etsy to raise money for Planned Parenthood, and attempted to eat a copy of David Foster Wallace’s Infinite Jest. Furthermore, she is the host and creator of three critically-acclaimed iHeartRadio podcasts: My Year in Mensa, Lolita Podcast, and Aack Cast. Along with fellow comedian Caitlin Durante, she co-hosts The Bechdel Cast, a weekly podcast about the representation of women in film. Website • Instagram
