LESBIAN COMEDIAN SHANN CARR DEBUTS NEW BOOK AT SIGNING PARTIES

 

“You’re Going to Be Gay” Celebrates Early Gay Moments

Palm Springs, CA—April 9th, 2008: Shann Carr, lesbian comedian and veteran of more than 50 Atlantis Events cruises, will debut and sign her new book You’re Going to Be Gay: A Laughing Look at the Childhood Photos of My Friends following her comedy concert in Sacramento on Thursday May 1^st. The new book features humorously gay “then and now” photos, and childhood stories from more than 50 gay, lesbian and transgendered friends.

 

“My family and friends have always been the gracious subjects of my 24-year comedy career, so this book is just a natural extension of that,” says Shann Carr. “Involving so many local friends made this feel especially like creating a ‘family’ photo album.

 

The book signing will take place at Faces directly following Shann Carr’s comedy concert which begins at 8:00 pm on Thursday May 1^st. 

 

Of the book, Carr says “This book isn’t about coming out. It’s about the glints of stereotypical gayness that eked out of these kids just in time to get snapped into evidence as a photograph. I have to confess, I love the instant that a stereotype is true.”

You’re Going to Be Gay is $20 and copies will be available for purchase at the book signing and on her web site www.shanncarr.com
