Mean Book Club Rips Apart The Godfather of Self-Help—LIVE!

Are you obsessed with self-help? Us too. That’s why Mean Book Club (the podcast) is doing a live show for the most classic self-help book of all time: How To Win Friends and Influence People, by Dale Carnegie. Hosted by Sarah Burton (BuzzFeed, HuffPost), Clara Morris (Impractical Jokers), Johnna Scrabis (UCB, College Humor) and Sabrina Jordan, we’re focusing our anger on the self-help NYT bestseller that started it all.

Mean Book Club Live: How To Win Friends and Influence People

Wed June 12th @ 9:30pm / 9:00pm Doors

Caveat: 21A Clinton Street in New York City

$10 in advance / $12 at the door

MEAN BOOK CLUB is four lady-comedians (from UCB-NY, HuffPost, College Humor, Impractical Jokers) who read, discuss and whine about NYT bestselling books that have questionable literary merit. It’s fun. It’s cathartic. Some come out to our live show and help us raise up good literature by beating down these perplexingly popular wastes of trees.

Hosted by

Sarah Burton (BuzzFeed, HuffPost)

Clara Morris (Impractical Jokers, Bleacher Report)

Johnna Scrabis (UCB, College Humor)

Sabrina Jordan (UCB)

PRAISE for Mean Book Club:

“Some book clubs are dedicated to classic literature and insightful discussion. Mean Book Club prides itself on ripping New York Times best sellers to shreds.”

– Megh Wright, Vulture

“Well, you guys are already reading, you’re doing way more work than we would.”

– Paul Scheer, How Did This Get Made?

“Take “mean” as critical“… Mean Book Club’s members never found any book clubs suited to their taste. They might rip books apart, but their discussions are light-hearted and banter comes naturally.”

– The Penn Stater

“These ladies are my new favorite. It is so refreshing to hear funny and intelligent gals dunking on literature that, as women and as human beings, seems to be forced down our throats whether we want it or not.”

– Heyygray, iTunes Reviews
