A "Very Special Liar" This Saturday


We are pleased to announce the premiere of Liar at Cornelia Street Cafe. If we get a nice crowd this Saturday, Liar will continue running once a month at this beautiful, food & drink filled club. Be sure to catch the first one, because it could all be downhill from there. So which one of these fast-talkers will be pulling your leg?

Andy Christie’s I Wasn’t Kidding (Random House), explored the funny side of suicide. Not surprisingly, it died on remainder shelves many years ago (though it is still available at Amazon.com in the original papyrus edition.) But he lives on--onstage (as a featured performer on the Moth's Mainstage), online and on the pages of snooty literary journals. Look for him soon in the Sunday New York Times where his work will grace the Modern Love column. And why not? He's modern. He loves. www.andychristie.com
