Readings, News, and Performances
Friday, July 29 at 7pm I will be at at the Astor Place in Barnes and Noble in NYC, reading from Wake Up, Sir! Also, my mom will be there and she's going to read some of her poetry.
Before that, in Los Angeles, I'll be involved in two very interesting shows, listed here in reverse chronological order due to problems with my typing on this blog:
Wednesday, July 27th at 8PM I will be part of a wild performance called: What's My Line? It's a take-off on the original tv program and there's always a surprise celebrity guest. Last week the surprise guest was "Curb Your Enthusiasm's" Jeff Garlin.
The show is hosted by J. Keith Van Straaten and I will be a panelist on the show. My fellow panelist is Rachel Harris of the tv show "Fat Actress." Here are the pertinent details:
ACME Comedy Theatre
135 N. La Brea Ave., Hollywood

Tuesday, July 26th at 9pm (doors open at 8:30), I will be a judge (judging actors doing 30-second monologues) at THE ONE AND ONLY “MANHATTAN MONOLOGUE SLAM"in Los Angeles. Go to www.mmslam.com for details.
