STAND-UP LIBRARIAN
MEREDITH MYERS
BRINGS ALL-LITERARY
COMEDY SHOW
TO THE STRAND DECEMBER 6TH
NEW YORK,
NY (November 15, 2012) – “So a comedian walks into a library and decides to
work there…” Comedian/Librarian Meredith Myers, also known as The Stand-Up Librarian, brings her all-literary comedy show to The Strand Book Store on
December 6th. The event begins at 7pm and the purchase of a $10
Strand gift card is required to attend.
You’ve
seen stand-up, but not like this! 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
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 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 Hugh Jackman and Jeremy
Renner to Diana Krall and Whitney Houston. Binding her experiences in comedy and libraries, Meredith
created StandUpLibrarian.com in June of 2010 to educate and entertain
people about the importance of libraries and literacy. In 2012, she launched StandUpLibrarianDesigns.com so she would have
something literary fabulous to wear!
Her literary purses are carried by The Strand and are available for
purchase at the show. Myers
currently lives in St. Petersburg, FL and performs at library and book events
across the country.
This event
will be located in the Strand's 3rd floor Rare Book Room at 828 Broadway at
12th Street. The purchase of a $10
Strand gift card is required to attend and may be used at any time, towards any
purchase at the Strand.

press with media-related inquiries about The Strand or this event can be sent
