The 18th Annual Mark Twain Prize for American Humor
On Sunday, October 18, 2015, Dave Chappelle, Kathy Griffin, Arsenio Hall, Brittany Howard, George Lopez, Sam Moore, Tracy Morgan, Kevin Nealon, Trevor Noah, Jay Pharoah, Joe Piscopo, Chris Rock and Other Special Guests will gather in the Kennedy Center Concert Hall to salute Eddie Murphy, recipient of the 18th annual Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. The Prize, which is named to honor one of the world’s greatest humorists, will be given at a gala performance featuring some of the biggest names in comedy, and will be taped for broadcast nationwide.
Upon learning he will receive the Mark Twain Prize, Eddie Murphy commented, "I am deeply honored to receive this recognition from the Kennedy Center and to join the distinguished list of past recipients of this award."
In addition to honoring this country’s greatest comedians, the Mark Twain Prize also serves as a major fundraising event—all contributions help support the Center’s year-round educational and artistic initiatives that reach millions of students, educators, and families throughout the nation. Single tickets and sponsorship packages ranging from $500 to $50,000 feature an array of benefits, including an invitation to attend an exclusive Artist Rehearsal Dinner with Mr. Murphy and other esteemed guests at the $25,000 level and above. Packages begin at $5,000 and include the festive pre-show dinner in a pavilion on the North Plaza, the tribute performance and formal presentation of the Mark Twain Prize in the Concert Hall, and a post-show reception with the cast.
The Mark Twain Prize continues to grow in popularity, and this year’s event is expected to sell out quickly. Sponsorship packages are the best way to secure premium access to all of the evening’s festivities. To confirm your participation, please contact the Special Events office at (202) 416-8335 or mtp@kennedy-center.org.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
