Robert Klein January 12, 2010

For more than forty years, Robert Klein has entertained audiences, and he continues to have an acclaimed career in comedy, on Broadway, on television, and in film. In 1975, Klein was the first comedian to appear in a live concert on Home Box Office. He has done eight one-man shows for HBO, and is currently preparing his ninth. Robert recently released "Robert Klein: The HBO Specials 1975-2005," a Collector's Special Edition 4-DVD box set containing all eight of his critically acclaimed HBO comedy specials. "The Amorous Busboy of Decatur Avenue," his recent first book for Simon & Schuster, is an affectionate coming-of-age memoir about growing up in the '50s and '60s before embarking on a show business career. In it he recounts his journey from an apartment in the Bronx, developing his talent in Chicago and the beginning of his show business stardom. The book is pure Robert Klein: witty, honest, self-questioning and always contagiously funny. Publishers Weekly writes: "...he unfurls an array of captivating anecdotes, writing with wry wit and honesty."
