May 30, 2024 - Denis and Ann Leary, Thorgy Thor, and the Lot Lab 2024

New York Times best-selling writer Ann Leary’s  latest book is a collection of Essays titled “I’ve Tried Being Nice.”  In total they are a reflection on her life…on the liberties that come with being older, on moments of mayhem and on scenes from a marriage that has had its ups and downs–on the tennis court, on the red carpet and behind closed doors. The essays are funny and frank. They are personal while also being very universal.Ann Leary and her husband Denis Leary – Worcester born actor and standup comedian – join The Culture Show ahead of their June 5th event at The Cambridge Public LibraryThen it’s Thorgy Thor.
