Meet the author! Wayne Jones, co-author of Greg Giraldo: A Comedian’s Story will be at Yuk Yuk’s Ottawa, February 27th at 10 p.m.

Ottawa-based author Wayne Jones will be on hand to read from the book, do a Q&A session, and sign copies.

The book is a biography of American comedian Greg Giraldo, who died in 2010. Wayne and co-author Matt Balaker wanted to tell the lesser-known stories of Giraldo’s life, and to illustrate the impact he had on the comedy world.

The writers have assembled Giraldo’s story through more than 60 interviews with managers, his former wife, fellow comedians, friends, producers, and entertainment journalists and writers.

The Kickstarter-born book will be available soon on Amazon, in e-book, audio, and print formats.
