"Keillor's great strength as a writer is to make the ordinary extraordinary." --Chicago Tribune
The best bits from his sold-out solo performances at Yale Repertory Theatre--readings, comedy, stories, musings, and more.
On three consecutive Monday evenings in April 2002, humorist Garrison Keillor appeared on stage at Yale Repertory Theatre in New Haven, Connecticut. Performing before sold-out crowds, he read personally chosen favorite selections from his many works, both published and unpublished: stories from The New Yorker, chapters from his bestselling novels, news from Lake Wobegon, essays from Time magazine, letters, and even a few pretty good poems.
There were no Tom Keith sound effects, no Guy's All-Star Shoe Band, no guest stars--just Garrison, a mike, and a rapt audience. Each evening was an intimate, unforgettable, one-of-a kind experience, full of homespun wit and whimsy.
Selected from the Yale shows, A Life in Comedy is a rare close-up look at the Grammy® Award-winning radio personality, A Prairie Home Companion® host, bestselling author, and man behind the Lake Wobegon phenomenon-a true artist of the spoken and written word.
About the Author: Garrison Keillor hosts A Prairie Home Companion, heard weekly by over 3 million public radio listeners nationwide. Keillor is the author of 11 books including Wobegon Boy, Lake Wobegon Days, and Leaving Home. His writing has appeared in numerous publications including National Geographic, Time, and The New Yorker. A member of the American Academy of the Arts and Letters, he lives in St. Paul, Minnesota.
