Pissing Off Dinosaurs

126

Paperback

Stardom shines on the chosen few. Many comedians have ventured the path to success, paying their dues in clubs and bars, telling their jokes from one coast to the other, only to find themselves washed up without even a sniff at relevancy. Fame is an exclusive club, unfortunately, and only those who have the material and skills to grow from bombing at an open mic to slaying crowds in an arena can enter. With a comedy special streaming into home TVs and laptops, the hero of this story is on the cusp of making the leap from social-media joke-pitcher to household name, but fate, that fickle bouncer, has other ideas. The lumbering stalwarts of the industry—from angry comics to frustrated talk-show hosts—and the machinations of destiny are hell-bent on limiting those for whom stardom shines. Follow this comedian-on-the-verge as he angers famous celebrities and rock singers, dodges lawsuits, works to win back his girlfriend, and tries to develop the material needed to propel him to the big time. He’s got talented friends on his latest tour and a faithful manager in his corner, but he’s going to need more than that if he keeps pissing off the dinosaurs of entertainment.
