Writer and comedian Audrey Murray discusses her book, Open Mic Night in Moscow: And Other Stories from My Search for Black Markets, Soviet Architecture, and Emotionally Unavailable Russian Men. At age twenty-eight, while her friends were settling into corporate jobs and serious relationships, Murray was on a one-way flight to Kazakhstan, the first leg of a nine-month solo voyage through the former USSR. A blend of memoir and offbeat travel guide, this catalog of a comedian’s adventures is also a diary of her emotional discoveries about home, love, patriotism, loneliness, and independence.
On July 24 at 7 pm Audrey Murray will be at Powerhouse Arena (28 Adams St, Brooklyn).
This segment is guest hosted by Jenna Flanagan.
