Dark at the Roots: A Jamboree

Probably best known for her role as Coach Cherri Wolf on Comedy Central’s hit show “Strangers with Candy”, Sarah Thyre serves up an extra large helping of her trademark razor-sharp wit and sardonic humor in the memoir DARK AT THE ROOTS.

Join her for a special night of words, music, and special comedy guest stars, including:

Jon Glaser

Jackie Hoffman

Jodi Lennon

Jack McBrayer

with music by The Last Car

DARK AT THE ROOTS is already picking up steam - David Rakoff says “Sarah Thyre just happens to be a marvelous writer. Hers is a truly distinct voice with a twisted poet’s gift for the perfect turn of phrase. She will be much imitated.” David Sedaris remarks, “I can’t wait for DARK AT THE ROOTS. Sarah Thyre has a remarkable story to tell, and she tells it, well, remarkably.”
