Audiences will be guaranteed 90 minutes of hilarity and astonishment as Simon reads from, and talks about, this compendium of jokes and anecdotes from his life in journalism that sparkles with wit and wisdom. With time for questions, Simon’s talk will be followed by a book signing.Simon is a frequent contributor to “Grumpy Old Men” and has been a journalist for the Guardian since 1968.
