On August 26, at New York’s
Beacon Theatre,
826NYC and The Bowery Presents present
REVENGE OF THE BOOK EATERS, a one-night-only event that brings together some of our most celebrated comedians, writers, and indie-rock songwriters for a rare evening of intimate performances, including
FEIST,
A.C. NEWMAN (of
New Pornographers),
JIM JAMES (of
My Morning Jacket),
GRIZZLY BEAR,
SARAH VOWELL (best-selling author and
This American Life contributor), and
DEMETRI MARTIN (
Daily Show regular, comedy superstar). The night promises once and for all to try to settle the debate: words or music – which is better?
This event, which is named after a story by an 826NYC student, is a follow-up to last year’s much-heralded event and six-city tour by the same name – a unique and awe-inspiring synthesis of the literary, comedy, and music communities in support of 826NYC’s similarly innovative programming for kids.
