'Lunatics': An Evening with Dave Barry and Alan Zweibel June 24, 2012

One of them is a bestselling Pulitzer Prize-winning humorist. The other is a winner of the Thurber Prize for American Humor. Together, they formed a team of pure comic genius and wrote "Lunatics." Join us for an onstage conversation moderated by Sam Barry, Dave's brother and band-mate, and hear about their collaboration and the laughs along the way.

In "Lunatics," Philip Horkman is a happy man; he's the owner of a pet store called The Wine Shop and on Sundays a referee for kids' soccer. Jeffrey Peckerman is the sole sane person in a world filled with jerks and morons, and he's having a really bad day. The two are about to collide in a swiftly escalating series of events that will send them running for their lives, pursued by the police, soldiers, terrorists, subversives, bears, and a man dressed as Chuck E. Cheese. Where that all takes them you can't begin to guess, but the literary journey there is a masterpiece of inspiration and mayhem.
