Performance Artist Plagiarized By Shia LaBeouf to Read at Skylight Books April 3

Kicking off his national book tour, L.A. performance artist Scotch Wichmann will read from his debut novel, Two Performance Artists Kidnap Their Boss And Do Things With Him, a caper comedy about two performance artists who kidnap their billionaire boss and try to turn him into a performance artist: http://www.2p4m.com/

If Scotch's name sounds familiar, it might be because actor Shia LaBeouf was caught plagiarizing Scotch's performance art manifesto in January: http://goo.gl/stxG4B

In response, Scotch staged a 6-hour protest/performance (complete with #LABEEF patties duct-taped to his shoes) outside the gallery where LaBeouf was performing his #IAMSORRY stunt in February: http://www.scotchwichmann.com/2014/02/12/protestinglabeouf/

Scotch and his performance troupe WET THE HIPPO were nominated for Best Comedy and Best Stunt
at the 2013 Hollywood Fringe -- so this reading at Skylight
Books bookstore should be wild!

--James Gautier, Kill Radio

"A hilarious adventure I'd recommend to anyone."
--Marc Wilmore, Writer & Producer for The Simpsons
