Warren Adler, author of Funny Boys, will be joined by comedians David Goldman and Tom McCaffrey for "An Evening of Funny Men" at the Telephone Bar & Grill on Monday, February 25, at 8pm. Funny Boys, Adler's 30th novel, re-creates the color, humor, excitement and authenticity of the Catskill Mountain resort era, and is a marvelous salute to the Jewish humor of the Borscht Belt. The event will be held in The Library Lounge at the Telephone Bar, 149 2nd Avenue @ 9th Street in Manhattan. There's no cover charge, and copies of Funny Boys will be available for purchase.

Warren Adler, author of The War of the Roses, Random Hearts, The Sunset Gang, and many other bestselling novels, takes on the New York of his childhood in Funny Boys, coming next month from Overlook.

For a sneak preview of Funny Boys, pick up a copy of Adler's short story collection New York Echoes, or visit the author's website.
