'Black Is The New White' In Comedian Paul Mooney's New Memoir

Legendary comic Paul Mooney stopped by to talk about his new memoir Black Is The New White and his performances at Carolines this weekend.

Featuring a foreword by fellow comedian Dave Chappelle, "Black Is the New White is an unapologetically candid memoir from a talent whose influence has ranged far wider than his fame -- mostly by his own design. As head writer for The Richard Pryor Show, he helped tear down racial barriers and change the course of comedy. He helped Robin Williams and Sandra Bernhard break into show business. He paved the way for superstars like Eddie Murphy. And at every turn he's shunned the easy set-up and punch line in favor of comedy that's indisputably real and raw, reflecting the reality of race issues in America even when it's generated outrage," says Amazon. Black Is The New White is available in bookstores now.

You can catch Mooney at Caroline's this weekend from November 12 to November 15. Caroline's On Broadway is located at 1626 Broadway, New York, NY 10019. For ticket and show information, call (212) 757-4100 or visit www.carolines.com.
