Join Us May 13th for the "History of the World - With Some Jokes"

Logan Boggs

On Sunday May 13, at 2:00 pm, the Champaign County Historical Society will feature a program entitled History of the World - With Some Jokes in the museum located at 809 E. Lawn Ave., Urbana.

Logan Boggs, historian and comedian, recognizing that too often history is presented as a dry string of facts and dates meant to be memorized, melds a history lecture with stand-up comedy designed to entertain a wide audience - students, scholars, and just plain folks - with some jokes.  And he manages to explain the entire History of the World in just 25 minutes!

From the first human hunters and gatherers, all the way up to the World Wars, from the pinnacle of man’s achievements, to some of his biggest mistakes, History of the World - With Some Jokes depicts history in a new light - a humorous one.
 
Prior to the performance, students who reached the state level in the National History Day competition this year will be recognized. The CCHS Museum will be open to the public during regular Sunday hours from 1:00 - 4:00 pm.
