Tonight: Steamboat featuring Larry Doyle, Mike Rubens, Robin Epstein

Thursday, August 19, 7:30 PM
Steamboat: A Literary Humor Series
Hosted by Bob Powers and Jason Reich

Featuring Larry Doyle, author of Go, Mutants!

Mike Rubens, author of The Sheriff of Yrnameer

Robin Epstein, author of God Is In The Pancakes

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.

Larry Doyle (author of I Love You, Beth Cooper) is the author of Go, Mutants!, the story of a melting-pot society populated by the aliens and humans of 1950s space-invader movies, in which a brooding blue rebel with a giant brain grapples with prejudice and hormones in that most horrific of earthly battlegrounds—high school.

Michael Rubens (a former Daily Show producer) brings us The Sheriff of Yrnameer, a sprawling space opera starring a hapless bounty hunter who finds himself on the last planet without corporate sponsorship, reluctantly fighting outlaws and trying to avoid having alien eggs laid in his brain.

Robin Epstein is the co-author of So Sue Me, Jackass: Avoiding Legal Pitfalls That Can Come Back to Bite You at Work, at Home, and at Play; her new young adult novel God Is In The Pancakes is the story of a fifteen-year-old girl whose job at the nursing home takes a complicated term when a friendly elderly patient asks her to help him die.
