Jewish Book Festival Features Bob Saget, Andy Cohen, Bob Mankoff, Mark Bittman, et al.
2014 October 31
What a lineup at this year’s Book Festival at the MJCCA.
Down and dirty comic Bob Saget, far removed from his saccharine “Full House” persona, opens the festival this Saturday in conversation with Josh Levs. In “Dirty Daddy” he writes about the connection between humor and pain, offering insights into his own life, including the deaths of his beloved sisters and several additional close family members.
The festival runs for more than two weeks.
