Ira Madison III: Pure Innocent Fun

Text: Ira Madison III. Image: a headshot of Ira Madison, III, beside the cover of his book Pure Innocent Fun. Ira is a Black man with short dark hair, beard, and mustache, wearing a white t-shirt and a dangling earring and illuminated by pink and blue lights.

Description

The critic, television writer, and podcast host presents his raucous and nostalgic essay collection, a pop culture manifesto for the modern age. Part memoir, part criticism, Pure Innocent Fun brings us on an adventure through the cultural moments of the 90’s and 2000’s that guided Madison's coming of age as a Black gay man in Milwaukee (think Clueless, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Jennifer Hudson losing American Idol).

There will be a book signing at this event.

All full-price tickets of $40 or more include a copy of Pure Innocent Fun. There are a limited number of companion tickets available. These tickets are $20 and do not include a book.
