Map of Trip Around the World
Not for the Squeamish
Tales of a Reluctant World Traveler
Sixteen weeks, four continents, three bungee jumps, and I couldn't come home soon enough. This is the story of how a Boston homebody turned a solo trip around the globe into a comedy novel and an acclaimed one-man show. The 1.5-hour, multimedia event includes a humorous travel slide show, readings from my novel God Bless Cambodia and performances from my show The Chronic Single's Handbook.
Audience:
General public, comedy lovers, people interested in world travel, writers
Praise for the Show:
"…an engaging, theatrical performance"
"…had patrons laughing from the get-go."
"You should definitely consider bringing [Randy] to your library!"
Peter Thornell,
Collection Development Librarian, Hingham Public Library
"…brought a large and diverse crowd"
"...had us all laughing out loud!"
"highly recommend working with Randy."
Bri Ozanne,
Adults Services and Programming, Medfield Public Library
Selected by Airbnb as a high-quality experience for Boston visitors.
