An Evening with Fran Lebowitz

,Barbican Hall
Fran Lebowitz

In a cultural landscape filled with endless pundits and talking heads, Fran Lebowitz stands out as one of our most insightful social commentators.

An American original and purveyor of urban cool, the cultural satirist and author is pointed, forthright, and known for her hilariously dry social commentary on American life. Lebowitz’s recent Netflix documentary series directed by Martin Scorsese, Pretend It’s A City, was an unmitigated hit, offering a tantalizing snapshot of New York in full bloom, along with Lebowitz’s lively and unapologetic commentary on what it means to live there.

Lebowitz will be live in conversation, offering insights on such timely issues as gender, race, gay rights, and the media, as well as on her own pet peeves—including celebrity culture, tourists, and baby strollers.

This event promises to be a balm in a wildly shifting world, offering spot-on observations about contemporary living and the opportunity to ask Lebowitz your own controversial questions.
