CHRISTOPHER BRAM is the author of nine novels, including GODS AND MONSTERS, which
was made into a wonderful movie starring Ian McKellan and Lynn Redgrave. His most
recent books are LIVES OF THE CIRCUS ANIMALS, which is about a pack of actors in New
York City, and EXILES IN AMERICA, which is about a gay open marriage in a college
town in Virginia.

ROBIN CLOUD moved to New York City after getting her BS in film studies from Howard
University to study at Columbia University but somehow made her way to an open mic
to perform and hasn't stopped since. She is a regular at comedy clubs throughout the
city; at times in the form of characters Jerri Beige and Angela Davison. Robin is
graduated of JoAnna Beckson's One Year Meisner Professional Program, is a
correspondent for Under the Pink Carpet, and was recently awarded the prestigious
Hedgebrook Writing Residency.

JOEL DERFNER is the author of Swish: My Quest to Become the Gayest Person Ever and
Gay Haiku. Musicals for which he has written the scores have been produced in
London, New York, and various cities in between (going counterclockwise). In an
attempt to become the gayest person ever, he joined Cheer New York, New York’s
gay and lesbian cheerleading squad, but eventually he had to leave because he was
too depressed. In desperation, he started knitting and teaching aerobics, though not
at the same time. He hopes to come to a bad end. He is currently hosting a
competitive gay-off (internet entries accepted!) at www.joelderfner.com.

Drunken! Careening! Writers! is a reading series dedicated to the proposition that
readings should be: excellent, well-read pieces that have at least one thing in them
that makes people laugh (nervous laughter counts), and don't run more than 15
minutes each.
