Authors Abraham & Kearns’ 'Show Won’t Go On' roadshow rolls into Hollywood & Echo Park October 19 & 22


The show is most definitely going on in Los Angeles later this week for the pair Vanity Fair has called  “show business and pop culture savants.”  Jeff Abraham and Burt Kearns, authors of The Show Won’t Go On, will be out and about in Los Angeles for more unpredictable, informative and often hilarious discussions and signings of the book about “The Most Shocking, Bizarre and Historic Deaths of Performers Onstage.”


The pair takes their show to the Dearly Departed Artifact Museum in Hollywood on Saturday afternoon, October 19 at five p.m.  Museum founder Scott Michaels, an author and celebrity in his own right, will host the event amid a unique collection of celebrity death memorabilia, from “The Jayne Mansfield Death Car” to the cremated remains of Michu, the little star of Big Top Pee Wee and Alf.  Michaels is best known as for his Dearly Departed Tours, which offer essential tragical history tours of Hollywod from star's homes to death sites.  


On Tuesday, October 22 at 8 p.m., Abraham and Kearns will meet the crowd at Stories Books and Cafe in Echo Park. The event at the book lovers’ oasis and literary hotspot will be hosted and moderated by the podcast stars of Eagle Rock.  Improv performer and comedy writer Sasha Feiler and comedian Steven Cohen host the popular Shut Up I Love It podcast.  Abraham and Kearns were guests on the show in September, defending their hero, Jerry Lewis, and his unseen yet often-maligned film, The Day The Clown Cried.

Cohen & Feiler of Shut Up I Love It
The Show Won't Go On, published by Chicago Review Press, has received great acclaim from the likes of Vanity Fair, the UK Telegraph and Daily MailNational Public Radio — and Gilbert Gottfried.  The book, audiobook and ebook are all available at bookstores, Amazon and other online bookstores -- and through the website, TheShowWontGoOn.com.
