Jen Kirkman is back on tour this year – with all new material. Stories and jokes that you haven’t seen on her Netflix specials. Don’t worry. She covers the bottomless pit of comedy that is Drumpf and also talks about her year of seeing fraudulent spiritual healers, holidays without family, being accused of not being “woke” by young people, and tales of when she was a young obnoxious third party voter, and pretentious hater of pop culture.

Dallas Fan Days 2017 will have its fair share of pop icons in attendance, but arguably none as nostalgic as actress Mara Wilson.

Many people, such as myself, grew up watching her on the big screen and were left wondering what happened to the promising young actress after she abruptly exited the Hollywood scene. We were lucky enough to catch up with Mara in an exclusive interview before she makes her first Dallas appearance next weekend.

Featuring a Grand Taste, evening concert and tasting event, and exclusive VIP area, Park & Palate will highlight the cutting-edge Dallas restaurant scene along with tastemakers throughout the region.
