I hope all of you will
have a chance to come to one of the shows because it is truly a celebration for
me and I am going all out. I
started performing stand-up comedy in NYC back in 2002 so to return and perform
my all-literary comedy act at The Strand Bookstore is such an honor. Plus to perform in my hometown for the
first time in ten years is pretty cool too. Nothing makes me prouder than writing jokes that hopefully
people enjoy but more importantly encourages them to read!
The show info is
below…hope to see you there!
STAND-UP
LIBRARIAN MEREDITH MYERS
“So
a comedian walks into a library and decides to work there…”
You’ve seen
stand-up, but not like this!
Comedian/Librarian Meredith Myers will perform an hour of hilarious literary entertainment for all ages as
she riffs on pop culture icons, authors, story time, and books, books,
books. A combination of Pippi
Longstocking and Sandra Bernhard with the style of Carrie Bradshaw, Myers
entertains while educates about the importance of literacy and libraries as she
addresses Melvil Dewey and the Dewey Decimal System, honors Edgar Allan Poe in
a rock n’ roll musical parody, and dances on a book cart in a delicious
holiday-inspired musical number all in literary costumes she sews herself! There will most certainly be no
shushing at this show!
