About the Artist:
Comedian, Actor, Producer Tony Rock is the hardest working man in show business. Born in the same Brooklyn Hospital where most of his eight brothers and sisters arrived into the world, Tony was born laughing and it was quickly apparent that his big brother wasn’t going to be the only famous comedian in the family. Tony has proven to be one of television’s best hosts having played the role of ringleader on HBO’s weekly stand-up comedy series All Def Comedy, NBA TV’s The Warm Up, along with BET’s Black Card Revoked and Apollo Live, all while co-starring in his first primetime network series – CBS’ Living Biblically.
Performing stand-up comedy continues to be Tony’s first love and this year has proven no different. You can see him on tour in 2018 as one of the featured acts on the Platinum Comedy Tour with Mike Epps, The Festival Of Laughs with Comedienne Sommore, and his own Tony Rock Live club tour!
Outside of the lights-camera-action, Tony works tirelessly as the founder of the MyROCK Diabetes Foundation, a charity organization established in honor of his late father.

Coffee is among the most common goods traded and consumed worldwide, and so omnipresent its popularity is often taken for granted. But even everyday habits have a history. When and why coffee became part of North American daily life is at the center of Coffee Nation: How One Commodity Transformed the Early United States. Using a wide range of archival, quantitative, and material evidence, Michelle Craig McDonald follows coffee from the slavery-based plantations of the Caribbean and South America, through the balance sheets of Atlantic world merchants, into the coffeehouses, stores, and homes of colonial North Americans, and ultimately to the growing import/export businesses of the early nineteenth-century United States that rebranded this exotic good as an American staple. The result is a sweeping history that explores how coffee shaped the lives of enslaved laborers and farmers, merchants and retailers, consumers and advertisers.

Dr. Michelle Craig McDonald is the Librarian/Director of the Library and Museum at the American Philosophical Society and the author of Coffee Nation: How One Commodity Transformed the Early United States.

Special Coffee Tasting:

Join us at the VMHC Café before or after the lecture from 11am-12pm and 1pm to 2pm for a special pop-up with Legacy Roasters, a local Virginia coffee company founded in 2014. What began as small batch roasting in the founder’s parents’ garage has grown into a dedicated Hopewell roasting space, where every batch is roasted to order for cafés and coffee lovers across the region.
During the pop-up, guests will learn the journey of coffee from green beans to finished roast, explore the origins of different coffees, and hear the Legacy Roasters story firsthand. Complimentary pour-over samples will be available throughout.

For More Information, Visit richmond.funnybone.com About the Artist: A popular comedian turned actor who started his career on-stage as a dare, funnyman Eddie Griffin has built an ever-growing fan base since jumping onto the comedy scene in 1990. Born in Kansas City, Missouri, Eddie was voted class clown three years in a row in high school. His first love was always dance and by the young age of 16, he opened his own dance studio and was choreographing the Kansas City Chiefs half-time shows. But all of that would soon change when one night his cousin dared him to go on stage at the local comedy club Sanford and Sons where he was told to do 3 minutes. He performed off-the-cuff for 45 minutes successfully. It was then that Griffin purchased a one-way ticket to Los Angeles to pursue his dream of becoming a stand up. He played The Pastor opposite Dave Chappelle, Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper in 2018’s Academy Award Winning feature film A Star is Born. His Showtime Comedy Special Eddie Griffin: Undeniable debuted on Showtime in February 2018 to rave reviews. Currently, Eddie can be found performing his Las Vegas Residency, The Eddie Griffin Experience, Monday through Wednesday night, 8PM at the Sayers Club in the Sahara Las Vegas Hotel and Casino.
