    A Life in Comedy: An Evening of Favorites from a Writer's Life

    Written by Garrison Keillor

    4/5

    ()

    About this audiobook

    In April 2002, Garrison Keillor gave three live performances at the Yale Repertory Theatre, reading from a variety of his published and unpublished stories, novels, and essays. The award-winning radio personality and man behind the Lake Wobegon phenomenon presented his original musings on the life and times in which we live. Presenting one man, one mike, and a captive audience of fans both old and new, this audio recording captures the intimacy and the hilarity of those special performances.
