Minnesota Public Radio kicked off their 4 part series "Wits" at the Fitzgerald Theater with a bang. Titled "How to Sacrifice Everything for Your Ungrateful Children," the show was headlined by Julia Sweeney, a former Saturday Night Live alum who's probably loved most for her role as the androgynously hilarious "Pat." American Public Media radio rockstar John Moe hosted the show with help from New Standards singer and bassist John Munson. In addition to live performances by musical guest and local celebrity Mason Jennings, comedy writer Dana Gould dropped into the conversation via phone.
