Writers Bloc and Book Soup Present Larry Charles

HEALTH & SAFETY: WE ASK THAT YOU PLEASE WEAR A FACE MASK WHILE INDOORS FOR OUR EVENTS. THANK YOU.

You've seen Larry Charles' name all over film and TV credits for decades. He's a writer, producer, and director on some of the most beloved shows on TV.

He was in the writers' room from the beginning of Seinfeld, and stayed for years. He subsequently developed Mad About You into one of the more popular sitcoms of the era, and was executive producer of the wildly popular biting comedy/drama series, Entourage.

And he produced and directed dozens of episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm. Larry strayed into movies, directing the outrageous satires, Bruno, Borat, and The Dictator, and so many others.

In his new book, Comedy Samurai, Larry Charles goes a lot deeper than telling us stories about his singular experiences with iconic figures in American comedy. He gives us example after example of great sketches, and how they came to be. They're not only really funny, but they define singular eras of pop culture in America. And he doesn't hide the darker side of TV comedy--the drugs and addiction to the certainty of uncertain futures. Great and cautionary tales abound in Comedy Samurai, told by one of the true comedy warriors of our age.
