Tonight: Steamboat with Samantha Bee, Steve Hely, and Simon Rich!

Thursday, June 17, 7:30 PM
Steamboat: A Literary Humor Series

Hosted by Bob Powers and Jason Reich

Featuring Samantha Bee, author of I Know I Am, But What Are You?

Steve Hely, author of How I Became a Famous Novelist
Simon Rich, author of Elliot Allagash

On the third Thursday of every month, join Bob Powers (author of Happy Cruelty Day) and Jason Reich (former writer for "The Daily Show"), as they welcome the city's best humor writers for a night of wine-addled text-based hilarity.

In her new collection of personal essays I Know I Am, But What Are You, Samantha Bee turns the spotlight on her own imperfect yet highly entertaining life as relentlessly as she skewers hapless interview subjects on The Daily Show.

Narrated by an unlikely literary legend, Steve Hely’s novel How I Became A Famous Novelist tells the horrifying, hilarious tale of how a trashy novel became the most admired and reviled novel in America.

Simon Rich debuted his absurdist sense of humor in his hilarious collections Ant Farm and Free-Range Chickens; his debut novel Elliott Allagash explores the strangest, most twisted, and comically fraught terrain of them all: high school.


And don't miss Steamboat on the FABfest mainstage, this Sunday June 20 at 4 PM!
