An Evening with Kate McKinnon: The Millicent Quibb School of Etiquette for Young Ladies of Mad Science
In conversation with Seth Meyers
Join Kate McKinnon — the comedian, writer, actor, Saturday Night Live alum and Weird Barbie — for an evening of comedy and conversation at the launch of her debut novel, The Millicent Quibb School of Etiquette for Young Ladies of Mad Science. This story — inspired by McKinnon’s own childhood, “eating honeysuckle on the playground and collecting bugs and falling in love with the natural world,” is the first in a madcap new book series about three sisters and a mysterious scientist which, hopes McKinnon, will inspire and empower young readers. Hear about how this long-term passion project developed, McKinnon’s own fascination with science and nature, finding your own place to belong, her essential message that being weird is exactly what makes you wonderful, along with reflections and anecdotes about her life and career.
