From radio show host to nurse to firefighter and even to New York Times bestselling author, Michael Perry has done it all and kept busy. As a humorist, he hosts Tent Show Radio and as a musician he tours with his band, the Long Beds. Tent Show Radio is based at Big Top Chautauqua near Lake Superior. Big Top Chautauqua, a non-profit performing arts organization, continues to host multiple performances by Perry that audiences (and radio listeners) can’t get enough of. With his continual involvement in performing arts and dedication to fatherhood, it’s amazing that Perry is publishing another book right now. Well, we’re lucky. Come Nov. 27, From the Top will be released, featuring a collection of brief essays accumulated from his Tent Show Radio program. This collective of hilarious monologues are sure to please a large audience and get a laugh from anyone who reads it.
