Fran Lebowitz takes her wit to Cleveland — and an audience member’s wild Bob Dylan comment steals the show.NN
Fran Lebowitz brought her deadpan NYC humor to Cleveland.
The author and cultural critic was in town for “An Evening with Fran Lebowitz,” where she provided “an unforgettable evening of razor-sharp wit and unapologetic honesty,” at Playhouse Square.
But an audience member served up the same by asking her, “Has anyone ever told you, you look like Bob Dylan,” during a Q&A, according to a source.
“Fran was puzzled, and replied, ‘Eh, no,’” the source told Page Six.
The fan fired off several questions, asking the writer everything from her thoughts on AI to Elon Musk.
A pregnant woman had much more personal question for Lebowitz: We’re told she wanted book suggestions for her baby’s nursery library.
The ever witty Lebowitz told the expecting mom she buys kids whatever book she’s reading at the time, and then writes the tome, “I hope you haven’t read this one yet,” according to our source.
Lebowitz also dished about the upcoming mayoral election, revealing she’s traveled abroad and everyone was asking about Zohran Mamdani.
“She said she’d never seen the world this tuned in to a local election,’ the source said.
Lebowitz isn’t the only New Yorker who has ended up in Cleveland, Ohio, this month.
Alicia Keys brought her Tony Award-winning musical, “Hell’s Kitchen,” to town.
The singer set up shop in one of the city’s luxury apartment buildings for two weeks.
