Hosted by SEDC Director, Amy Saidman and so far, featuring these folks, plus a special appearance by comedian Dustin Fisher paying homage to beer in his critically acclaimed poem “Ode to the New Stain on Your Carpet” :

bw-thumb_MikeKane Mike Kane works in television. After work, he enjoys a beer with a few friends. Or a few beers with one friend. Or lots of beer, alone, watching DVR’d episodes of Nancy Grace.
Adam Adam Ruben is a writer, storyteller, comedian, and molecular biologist. He appeared as a recurring guest expert on the Food Network’s “Food Detectives,” and he writes the monthly humor column “Experimental Error” for Science magazine. His new book, “Surviving Your Stupid, Stupid Decision to Go to Grad School,” is now available in stores nationwide. His favorite beer is Sour Cherry (Brewer’s Art, Baltimore).
Kathryn For someone who enjoys hitting the sauce as much she does, Kathryn Brand has spent far too much of her life living in Muslim and third world countries with little to no beer industry. After breaking a tooth on Malawian fermented corn-beer (called Shake shake Chibuku), she relocated to DC, where the only Speakeasy she has to frequent is this one.
VijaiNathan Comedian Vijai Nathan is recovering from the sold-out run of her solo performance in the Capital Fringe Fest, “Give Them Vagina: Tips from Mom, Dad, and Cosmo.” She’s been known to force unsuspecting younger men to drink beer from a can placed between her luscious, and now infamous (b/c of her Fringe Fest postcards) breasts. You can find her these days running a monthly comedy show at Chief Ike’s called Fan-Freakin-Tastic.
JBwhale_120 The last time Josh Berner told a story in front of an audience, he was eight years old and in the gifted program of his elementary school. After leaving the stage, he drank his first six-pack of suds and has been constantly drunk ever since. Luckily he’s a bartender, so it’s not so awkward to explain.
Grant120 Grant La Rouche is a writer and social entrepreneur. After a 12 year hiatus is Grant is happy to return to the SpeakeasyDC stage. As a poet, he has read aloud at the Library of Congress Poetry at Noon Series, Takoma Park Reading Series, Loudon Arts Council and George Washington University Coffeehouse, and performed spoken word at DCAC with the group Chaos Standing. Through his work as a nonprofit marketing director and fundraiser, Grant is regularly asked to weave stories for the public. He lives in Takoma Park with his wife Genevieve and son Cormac.
