The Dalton Gang is back again for the Third Annual Dalton Gang Reading hosted by BookPeople (603 N. Lamar). Escape the Austin heatwave and join us for a literary treat showcasing seven talented Austin authors on Wednesday, August 12 at 7 p.m..
The evening includes the poetry of Lyman Grant (The Road Home) and W. Joe Hoppe (Galvanized); the Grimm-inspired tales from Ric Williams (Woman in the Tower); the refreshing and incisive fiction crafted by Robert Stikmanz (Sleeper Awakes), Gary Kent’s unbelievable, yet all true, reminiscences of the indie film revolution (Shadows & Light); a jolt of inspiration and motivation from the SOAPBOX® Queen herself, Kimberlie Dykeman (Pure Soapbox); and the always hilarious and entertaining Les McGehee (Plays Well With Others).

Pakistan, Calling Les
May 21, 2009
Les McGehee is hilarious. He and his improv comedy troupe Comedy Sportz have rounded the globe spreading laughter and good, clean fun, so it’s not such a surprise when Les receives notes and praise from all over the world about Comedy Sportz and his book Les McGehee Plays Well With Others.
There are improv comedy groups in both Mexico and Germany touring shows based loosely on his book, but most recently, Les received a note from Pakistan, that he says “makes [him] very proud.” Located in Islamabad, the improv fans found Les through Facebook. They shared some information about their own improv group, set up a teleconference with Les, and sent the following note:
“LES!! You got my message!! lol! I’m so glad you tagged me back. The thing is that, down here in Pakistan, we don’t have a lot of resources to tap into when it comes to specialized forms of performance arts, like improv. So your book, is kinda our improv BIBLE. or Koran for that matter.
;-). Also, the expertsvillage videos were a major bonus.”
On communicating with fans world wide, Les says, “What a fun thing for me!”
