Coming soon to TV CONFIDENTIAL: Actor, singer and comedian Richard Pryor Jr. on how his self-described “freakish life” paralleled that of his famous dad in more ways than you can imagine; the many singular characters on both sides of his family, including his beloved Granny; and how the death of both his parents helped him come to terms with his sexual identity after a lifelong struggle. Richard’s memoir, IN A PRYOR LIFE, is now available through Bear Manor Media. For our listeners in the Midwest, Richard will be appearing at the Bradley University Student Center Atrium in Peoria, IL on Wednesday 4/10 and at the Olde Town Tap in Altoona, IA on Friday 4/12
