What pairs well with the story of an identity-shifting murderess who burned her house down to cover up a crime? A fiery jalapeño cocktail (or mocktail), of course. How about the Charles Dickens super-fan who took things a bit too far? That one's less obvious, so you'll have to consult page 44. From poison to pirates, identity theft to art heists, KILLER COCKTAILS has a cocktail - and mocktail option - to pair with 144 of the wildest, wackiest historical crimes that co-authors Holly Frey and Maria Trimarchi could dig up. A small sampling of the menu:
The Legend of Locusta, the Imperial Poison Maker of Ancient Rome (p20) and cocktail: The Botanist's Latte (p22)
This Just In: Elizabeth "Betty" Bigley Was Not Really the Daughter of Andrew Carnegie (71) and cocktail: The Calling Card (74)
Jeanne de Clisson and Her Bloodthirsty Revenge (108) and cocktail: Red Sails (110)
William Cunningham, the "Bogeyman" of Cincinnati (163) and cocktail: Corpse Juice (165)
The Day the Dali Escaped From Prison (240) and cocktail: Dali's Antics (242)
Why the combo of baddies and booze? The authors explain: "In some instances, the cocktail is a way to lighten the mood after a particularly grueling or grisly tale. In others, it's about celebrating someone who bypasses the law for the common good, or even someone who has transitioned from villainous to . . . less villainous? More than anything, it's about finding ways to give stories from the past a festive, exciting, and new spin-and have fun doing it."
The beloved co-hosts of iHeartPodcasts' "Criminalia" (both) and "Stuff You Missed in History Class" (Frey) bring their trademark humor and deep research - as well as their mixology skills - to the project. But as they write in the introduction, "It's OK to play. Tweak your drinks to your tastes! If you make a bad drink you'll only mourn the wasted ingredients. There's no such thing as cocktail jail and the family will not seek revenge. usually."
Inspired at a young age by icons such as Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and other great American Songbook interpreters, Edward brings a unique tone and style to the stage - not just with his jazz vocal prowess, but also with his distinctive presentation. Edward takes pride in looking his best not for anybody but himself, usually attending college classes dressed in a suit and outside with a hat. As a person with ancestry from Latin America, Edward's multicultural background enriches his artistry. With his father's Peruvian roots and his mother's Panamanian heritage, Edward performs in English, Portuguese and Italian, offering a diverse and engaging experience. Edward excelled in music and writing in boarding school. His talent for writing earned him acceptance to Emerson College for creative writing, but he chose to follow his musical passion at Hofstra University where he is on track to graduate with a B.A. in music performance - jazz and contemporary music.
Clown Jewels is proud to announce the release of the very first (and last) comedy album of original material by the legendary Gilbert Gottfried. Featuring packaging by Grammy Award-nominated artist Perry Shall, the 2xLP set includes a gatefold photo collage with rare photos of Gilbert with family and friends, a heartfelt and funny historical account of Gilbert from long-time friend Penn Jillette, and a vinyl side etched with original artwork sketched by Gilbert, himself. The vinyl set is available for pre-order exclusively at clownjewels.com.
Gilbert had long resisted releasing an album of original material because he thought people wouldn't see his live shows if they could listen at home. His wife, Dara Gottfried, and the curation team at Clown Jewels came together to hand-pick the greatest bits from footage captured by filmmaker Neil Berkeley for his 2017 documentary Gilbert.. Gilbert Gottfried passed on April 12, 2022, from ventricular tachycardia caused by Myotonic Dystrophy Type 2. Family and friends urge fans to join them in supporting Myotonic Dystrophy Type 2 research by making a gift to the Gilbert Gottfried Myotonic Dystrophy Type 2 Research Fund.
