For Immediate Release
STAND-UP LIBRARIAN MEREDITH MYERS
BRINGS ALL-LITERARY COMEDY SHOW TO
VENUE THEATRE NOVEMBER 30TH & DECEMBER 1ST
ST. PETERSBURG, FL
(November 13, 2012) – “So a comedian walks into a library and decides to
work there…” St. Petersburg native Meredith Myers, also known as The Stand-Up Librarian, brings her all-literary comedy show to Venue
Theatre on November 30th
and December 1st. Show
times are 8pm and ticket prices only $15.
You’ve seen stand-up,
but not like this! Myers will perform an hour of 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 wardrobe 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 to Madonna, all in literary
costumes she sews herself. There will most certainly be no
shushing at this show!
Myers has a Masters degree in Library and Information
Sciences from the University of South Florida and has been performing stand-up
comedy across the country since 2002 after checking out a comedy book from her
local library. She wrote, produced
and starred in her one-woman show Like a Publicist off-off Broadway in 2003, which received rave reviews
and was based on her years working in public relations for celebrities including Hugh
Jackman and Jeremy Renner to Diana Krall and Whitney Houston. Binding her experiences in comedy and
libraries, Meredith created www.StandUpLibrarian.com in June of 2010 to educate and entertain people about
the importance of libraries and literacy.
In 2012, she launched www.StandUpLibrarianDesigns.com so she would have something literary fabulous to
wear! She currently lives in St.
Petersburg and performs at library and book events across the country.
