Our guests, publicist and pop historian Jeff Abraham and documentary producer & journalist Burt Kearns are like most of us who love to hear the grisly details. Many of us who love entertainment have a morbid curiosity of the stories about entertainers who died doing what they love. Jeff and Burt have dug up and drilled down on the deaths of performers such as Dick Shawn, Karl Wallenda, Tiny Tim, Harry Einstein and many more who died performing. This is a book that offers all the juicy backstories and aftermath of these events. They created a fascinating book that satisfies your every question and prurient interest. Much like Hollywood Babylon, it is a must have book for those who love the backstories of show business. Jeff Abraham & Burt Kearns are the co-authors of the recently book titled “The Show Won’t Go On: The Most Shocking, Bizarre, and Historic Deaths of Performers Onstage” (Chicago Review Press). https://theshowwontgoon.com Authors Jeff Abraham and Burt Kearns Reveal the Details of Show Biz Deaths on Stage including Comic Dick Shawn (It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World) to Tiny Tim, comic Harry “Parkyakarkus” Einstein(father of Albert Brooks and Bob “Super Dave Osborne” Einstein who died in front of Lucy, Desi, Uncle Miltie & more --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/RickLertzman/support
