An evening of frivolity and philanthropy

Since 1990, the Mississippi Press Association has roasted Mississippi journalists, celebrities and politicians in good humor as a benefit for the Mississippi Press Foudnation. The Foundation Roast has become a much-anticipated evening of frivolity and fundraising to assist the philanthropic endeavors of MPF.

This year's honoree is chef, restaurateur, and syndicated columnist Robert St. John, a longtime friend of Mississippi newspaper media. 

Our roastmaster is Marshall Ramsey of the University of Mississippi School of Journalism and New Media, a past honoree of the event.

Jeff Allen combines clean, hilarious humor like no other comedian working today. He regularly appears on Dry Bar Comedy, Netflix, Amazon, Huckabee, Pureflix, Showtime, Comedy Central, VH1, and America's Got Talent. With almost a billion video views, Jeff Allen is the world’s funniest, most inspiring comedian! In his new tour "The Human Condition: We're Still Not There Yet!", Jeff’s sidesplitting comedy drives home the humor in everyday family life, the ups and downs of marriage, the challenge of raising children, the bliss of the empty nest (followed by the unexpected returns to said nest) and the joys of being a grandparent. Audiences will immensely enjoy taking this journey with Jeff.
