Evening with Humorist David Rakoff
Tuesday, April 24th
7:30pm
Sponsored by the Fairfax County Public Library Foundation, Inc., and the Alden Theatre
The Fairfax County Public Library presents "An Evening With David Rakoff" at 7:30 p.m. on April 24 at the Alden Theatre of the McLean Community Center in McLean. Tickets to this free event will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis beginning at 7 p.m.; limit four per person.
Rakoff, a contributor to Public Radio International's "This American Life," is known for his edgy and humorous insights into contemporary American life. He is the author of two books of essays, Fraud and Don't Get Too Comfortable in which he reports on his investigation of elf populations in Iceland, his impersonation of Sigmund Freud in a Manhattan department store window display, and his two-day guest part on a popular soap opera. He also writes for The New York Times Magazine, Outside, GQ and other publications.
Rakoff has worked with David and Amy Sedaris, directing and acting in their plays. He can also be seen in the 2005 films "Strangers With Candy" and "Capote."
