“Laughter is my favorite survival skill.” — Annabelle Gurwitch Adventures by the Book® is delighted to welcome beloved actress, comedian, and bestselling author Annabelle Gurwitch for a special Life & Laughter Adventure as part of our Inside the Author’s Studio series. Join us for an intimate, early-evening gathering inside a private San Diego home, where Annabelle will share the wit, warmth, and fearless honesty that have made her both a fan favorite and a cultural truth-teller. In her new book, "The End of My Life Is Killing Me," Annabelle chronicles her experience living with Stage 4 lung cancer with the same sharp humor and emotional clarity that defined her earlier award-winning work. The result is a memoir that is unexpectedly joyful, profoundly human, and—yes—laugh-out-loud funny. This conversation will explore not only her writing and her creative process, but also the ways humor, community, and storytelling illuminate even life’s most challenging chapters. Guests will enjoy a cozy, salon-style discussion, light bites and sweets, a signed copy of Annabelle’s book, and the rare opportunity to connect up close with an author whose voice is as courageous as it is hilarious. Come share an evening of resilience, truth-telling, and the kind of heartfelt laughter that reminds us why stories matter. Annabelle Gurwitch on Facebook / Instagram
