We're thrilled to announce that on October 7th, 826NYC and The Bowery Presents will bring "REVENGE OF THE BOOK EATERS," our annual one-of-a-kind evening of music, comedy, and storytelling to Town Hall, in a show that promises to settle the eternal question: Words vs. Music—Which is Better?
This year's show will feature:
A story from IRA GLASS.
New songs by DEPARTMENT OF EAGLES (members of Grizzly Bear).
Talking from DAVE EGGERS.
A new play* by JONATHAN FRANZEN, read by ERIC BOGOSIAN, PATRICIA CLARKSON, the author, and SPECIAL GUESTS.
A duet with THAO NGUYEN and ZACH ROGUE.
Jokes by host (and Daily Show correspondent) JOHN OLIVER.
And a very special appearance by PAUL SIMON.
Tickets are onsale NOW.
This event, which is named after a story by an 826NYC student, is now a much-heralded annual show, started in 2006. This year's show promises to extend that tradition, focusing on unique, memorable performances, all raising money for 826NYC's free programming for children.
