Quintessential New Yorker, writer, social commentator and pop culture icon, Fran Lebowitz, who is the midst of an extensive world tour, is bringing her acerbic wit to the Balboa Theatre. Her essays and interviews offer her acerbic views on current events and the media – as well as pet peeves including tourists, baggage-claim areas, after-shave lotion, adults who roller skate, children who speak French, or anyone who is unduly tan. The New York Times Book Review calls Lebowitz an "important humorist in the classic tradition." Purveyor of urban cool, Lebowitz is a cultural satirist whom many call the heir to Dorothy Parker. Date | Monday, May 2 at 7:30 p.m. Location | Balboa Theatre Get tickets here! Ticket prices ranging from $31 to $66.
