This program will also be streamed to our Kingsley Room. Register here if you want to watch it at the library.

This Brooklyn native defied the odds to become one of the first successful stand-up comics. What inspired her dazzling career, and how did she rise above the tragedies of her private life? Listen as John Kenrick shares the story of this American comedian, actress, writer, producer and television host.

Entertainment historian John Kenrick has worked in the theatre at every level from amateur to Broadway, eventually serving as personal assistant to six Tony Award winning producers, including the team behind the original production of Rent. He has taught musical theatre history courses at New York University’s Steinhardt School, The New School University, and Philadelphia’s University of the Arts.
