An all new THEATER TALK puts the spotlight on two off-Broadway shows - Me, My Mouth & I, starring comedienne Joy Behar, now at the Cherry Lane Theatre, and playwright Bob Callely, whose new play On A Stool At The End Of The Bar is currently at 59E59 Theaters.
Behar discusses new one-woman show, which traces her remarkable life during which - after a number of less-than-successful careers (teaching, sales, receptionist at Good Morning America) - she launched a career in stand-up comedy, which led to her becoming the a co-host of THE VIEW for 16 years and a nationally respected pundit.
Joy is followed by playwright Bob Callely talking about his timely and intriguing new play at 59E59 Theaters, On A Stool At The End Of The Bar, a production that almost never came to fruition after Bernard Madoff lost all of Callely's money.
