Know your audience, that’s the first rule of entertainment. But what if your audience is a kid in elementary school? How do you tailor comedy for young readers? What are the topics that are off-limits? How do you write jokes that’d come across?
Joining Larry to talk about those questions are authors and funnymen Alan Zweibel and Adam Mansbach, whose new kids’ book, “Benjamin Franklin: Huge Pain in My …!”, comes out today.
Event Info: Alan Zweibel and Adam Mansbach will discuss and sign their new book tonight, September 8, at Vroman’s Bookstore in Pasadena. The event starts at 6:30pm.
