In a cultural landscape filled with endless pundits and talking heads, Fran Lebowitz stands out as one of our most insightful social commentators.
Her essays and interviews offer her acerbic views on current events and the media as well as pet peeves including tourists, baggage-claim areas, after-shave lotion, adults who roller skate, children who speak French, or anyone who is unduly tan. The New York Times Book Review calls Lebowitz an "important humorist in the classic tradition." Purveyor of urban cool, Lebowitz is a cultural satirist whom many call the heir to Dorothy Parker.
This is Lebowitz off the cuff. Her writing — pointed, taut, and economical — is equally forthright, irascible, and unapologetically opinionated. On stage, she engages in an unscripted conversation that blends sharp cultural commentary and personal anecdotes for a truly one-of-a-kind live experience.
Spend an evening with Fran Lebowitz at Werklund Centre as she takes the stage for a candid, wide-ranging conversation filled with her signature wit, sharp insights, and unapologetic takes on the world around us.
