With features like cosplay contests, crafts, and anime showcases, you can expect an atmosphere filled with creativity and laughter. Alongside Scheer, the event will also host talented authors such as Celso Hurtado, Kazu Kibuishi, and Ehigbor Okosun. Each guest brings their unique perspective, making any personal encounter during the event something truly special.

Meet the Multi-Talented Paul Scheer

For those unfamiliar, Scheer has carved out his niche in the comedy world with roles that are hard to forget. Imagine him as the hilariously awkward plastic surgeon Dr. Andre Nowzick in “The League”, or as the quirky television producer Donny Lawson on “30 Rock.” He’s also lent his voice to the charismatic Lt. Commander Andy Billups in the popular animated series “Star Trek: Lower Decks.” It’s safe to say, the man has quite the impressive portfolio!

Paul’s Fun Pop Culture Connection

Scheer isn’t just about film and television; he also has a soft spot for collectibles! His collection includes an adorable Pop figure of Grogu as a parade float, and he dreams of having his own Funko Pop figure someday. His character from “Black Monday,” a roller-skating drug dealer, is one he’d love to see represented in Pop form! Such enthusiasm for the collectible community is just one of the many things that make him relatable to fans.

Championing Libraries

What’s more, Scheer is an avid supporter of libraries, highlighting their role in society during his book tours. His podcast “How Did This Get Made?” dives into the world of questionable movies with co-hosts June Diane Raphael and Jason Mantzoukas, and he doesn’t shy away from emphasizing the importance of libraries. They serve as vital community hubs, offering digital media services and a welcoming space for all.

Scheer’s Latest Projects

In addition to promoting his memoir, Scheer has recently starred in the “Night Court” reboot as a character named Carnes, a personal injury attorney. With a deep appreciation for the nostalgia of the original show, he has enjoyed collaborating with the cast to develop his character further. The rehearsals have infused his role with personal touches, creating a dynamic experience that fans of the series can appreciate.

A Memoir to Remember

In “Joyful Recollections of Trauma,” Scheer shares the trials and tribulations of his unconventional childhood, drawing inspiration from stories he has told on his podcast. This glimpse into his life showcases not only his struggles but also his unique ability to find humor amidst the chaos. Attendees can look forward to him sharing memorable anecdotes and engaging discussions during his appearance at Pop Madness!

So mark your calendars, gather your friends and family, and come out to meet Paul Scheer this Saturday for a fun day filled with laughter, insights, and a celebration of all things pop culture. Who knows? You might walk away with a new book to cherish and some unforgettable memories to share!
