Once again, Brooklyn Based, the cultural Daily Candy of brownstone Brooklyn, has some good goods on fun events at bars. Read here about a monthly mock lecture series at Union Hall. Find more at Brooklynbased.

Series: Adult Education
Where: Union Hall, 702 Union St., Park Slope
What: Brooklyn lawyer-by-day/comedian-by-night Charles
Star hosts this ongoing lecture series where speakers expound on
tongue-in-cheek topics loosely related to a changing theme, chosen by
Star, his wife Carrie McLaren (who used to publish Stay Free! magazine), and writer Jim Hanas.
The night we attended, “School for Scandal” inspired lectures on “The
Lurid World of Student Gossip Sites” and “The Firing of My High School
Physics Teacher.” As a host, Star is at once self-deprecating
and earnest; he understands people want to have fun while learning
something new.
When: Tuesdays on a semi-monthly basis, 8pm, $5 cover. Nov. 11 theme: “Lies and Liars.”
