Lewis Black in conversation with Craig Ferguson, Nov 2
We are very pleased to be hosting Lewis Black in conversation with Craig Ferguson on Nov 2 at The El Rey Theater. Tickets are selling pretty fast, so get ’em early. They’ll discuss Black’s new book, I’m Dreaming of a Black Christmas, which is described as follows:
“…a firsthand peek inside how he deals with the Christmas season, Black takes readers from Thanksgiving, when things usually get rolling, on through Christmas Eve, when he takes a moment to determine who in his life has been naughty (nearly everyone), to the saga of his annual Christmas Day visits to friends and their families. Along the way he shows how to make Christmas more user-friendly; explains why it’s important to never underestimate the power of a Christmas card; let’s slip why the Christmas tree at New York’s Rockefeller Center drives him insane; and provides a truly honest answer to the age old question, is it better to give or receive?”
Sir Michael Caine, at Live Talks Oct 28. Interview…
Sir Michael Caine
Sir Michael Caine will be at Live Talks on Oct 28 at Zipper Hall at The Colburn School, downtown Los Angeles. He will be discussing his new memoir, The Elephant to Hollywood. The Telegraph in the UK has a nice interview with Caine on his upcoming book. Here’s an excerpt that explains the title of the book:
“The title of his new autobiography is The Elephant to Hollywood, the elephant being The Elephant and Castle in south London, which was pretty much a slum when Maurice Micklewhite, as he then was, grew up there. If success is measured by how far you travel in a lifetime, physically and metaphorically, then his journey from Maurice to Michael, from the Elephant to Hollywood, makes him one of the most successful actors in history.”
