Members of the media will deliver dramatic readings of the worst press releases they’ve ever received. Think Jimmy Kimmel’s Mean Tweets—but live, on stage, right here in Buffalo. News releases with bad grammar, terrible headlines and little to no news value, packed full of jargon or clichés. They’re the type of releases that give PR professionals a bad name.

Only non-local press releases will be read! (Unless, of course, you’d like yours to be considered; if so, contact Matt Biddle at mrbiddle@buffalo.edu.)

Happy hour specials and a buffet of complimentary heavy appetizers start at 5:00pm. The show will begin promptly at 6 p.m.

Participating media members include:
Nathan Benson, multimedia journalist and photographer, WGRZ
Erica Brecher, general assignment reporter and fill-in anchor, WGRZ
- Laura Daniels, host of The Mix Morning Rush on 96.1 FM
- Jim Fink, reporter, Buffalo Business First
- Laura Wahler, managing editor, AAA's Member Connection magazine
Teresa Weakley, anchor for WIVB News 4 Wakeup!
