Laughter is the Best Medicine
Wednesday, November 15

Warren Murray returns to tickle our funny bones with his hysterical anecdotes and jokes. The son of comedian Jan Murray, Warren will regale us with true, personal and hilarious stories about what it was like growing up with his "uncles" George Burns, Milton Berle, Henny Youngman, Buddy Hackett, Sid Caeser, Jack Carter, Red Buttons, Danny Thomas, and many other legends of comedy.

An acclaimed script writer for such shows as All In the Family, Happy Days, Alice, The Facts of Life, Bridget Loves Bernie, That Girl, and dozens of other hits, Warren also headed NBC's comedy programming department. Murray had a second successful career as a Crystal Apple Award-winning teacher and will share what it was like facing classrooms filled with teenaged horny toads. Warren Murray's best-selling Amazon.com book, Funny Side Up, is available in paperback and on all e-book platforms. An octogenarian, Warren wishes to share his outrageously laughable observations and memories with you while he can still remember them.
