You know him from Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Goldbergs, and his decades on the stand-up stage. What you may not know is that comedian Jeff Garlin also happens to be a gifted photographer. Join us in celebration of his newest book, Best Seat in the House, a collection of never-before-seen photographs and hilarious personal stories that capture the heart of life on and offstage. Garlin will share unscripted moments with comedy’s biggest stars from Larry David and Mel Brooks to Jerry Seinfeld, Sarah Silverman, and more.

A book signing will follow this program.

This program is presented in partnership with the Northwestern University Buffett Institute for Global Affairs.
