My Smothers Brothers Book Tour is Coming Soon to a City Near You -- But Only if You Live in New York or New Jersey...

Happy New Year!

This month brings a few more publicity events for my Dangerously Funny book on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. In January, I'm booked to appear at one Barnes & Noble, one Borders, one college campus and a synagogue... PLEASE come see me, if you're in one of these areas...

All of my appearances will include a TV show-and-tell presentation, because Tom and Dick Smothers and company are a lot more entertaining than I am. And a VERY brief reading, to give a taste of the book. And a signing afterward, for anyone nice enough to stick around and buy the damned thing. I'm in Manhattan next Monday, in New Brunswick on Jan. 13, and in South Jersey after that. Here are the details.

And I'd LOVE to see you, because there's NOTHING an author fears more than an unattended book signing...

Monday, Jan. 11, 7:30 p.m., New York City -- I'll be at the Barnes & Noble, Lincoln Triangle. The address is 1972 Broadway @ 66th St. For more information, click HERE.

Wednesday, Jan. 13, 4 p.m., New Brunswick, NJ -- Here's the way Rutgers University describes my upcoming appearance: "Longtime TV critic David Bianculli will reveal behind-the-scene secrets of the pathbreaking, late-1960s Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour during a conversation about new his book on the politically active comedian-musicians Jan. 13 as part of Winter Session on the Rutgers-New Brunswick Campus.

Bianculli will read from Dangerously Funny: The Uncensored Story of The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour (Simon & Schuster) and show clips from the controversial series from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. in the fourth floor lecture hall at the Alexander Library, 169 College Ave. The public program is free."

Saturday, Jan. 16, 1 p.m., Marlton, NJ -- I'll be doing my TV show-and-tell, a fast reading, and a home-town signing at my local Borders book store, Marlton, NJ, 515 Route 73 South. For more info, click HERE.

Sunday, Jan. 31, 7 p.m., Cherry Hill, NJ -- "Dan-Jew-ously Funny," Jan. 31, 7 p.m., Temple Beth Sholom, Cherry Hill, NJ, 1901 Kresson Road, Cherry Hill, NJ 08003. Senior Rabbi Steven Lindemann and I have been presenting lively annual overviews of media portrayals of Jews for four years now -- and this year, it ends with a Smothers Brothers theme, and a book signing.

Don't think there was much Jewish humor on the white-bread Comedy Hour? You'd be surprised -- and if you attend, you will be. Another home-town event. For more information, click HERE.
