Author Dan Remmes Launches New Book GRUMPY OLD DAN

Fairfield University Store Hosts Author for Meet & Greet, Aug. 18

From the writer of the critically acclaimed Grumpy Old Men: The Musical comes Grumpy Old Dan, a collection of hilariously sharp, self-aware essays on show business, family, and the quiet absurdities of modern life.

Dan Remmes is an acknowledged grump. He’s also warmhearted and keenly observant. After decades surviving show business, he has more than a few tales to tell. In this eclectic collection of sidesplitting stories, humiliating mishaps, social commentaries, and introspective musings, Dan also offers a healthy dose of Hollywood and New York City nostalgia. His confessional essays hold nothing back: awkward interactions with celebrities rogue mascots and schoolyard skirmishes bouncing off a speeding car in Times Square a fiery fury over flip flops the indignities of medical maladies an accidental audience with the Pope, and more.


Perfect for fans of David Sedaris and Nate Bergatze, Grumpy Old Dan is a laugh-out-loud ride through the frustrations and joys of life—told by a man who is simultaneously exasperated by the world and deeply in love with it.
