SNELSON TP COMEDY IS DYING

In the 1990s, “edgy” standup comic MELVILLE SNELSON had it all—but twenty-five years later, his jokes come off as tired and offensive. Desperate for a comeback, Snelson sets out on tour with a group of young, socially conscious comedians. Can a '90s has-been hit the big time, or is Snelson about to be cancelled for good? A hilarious, definitely adult contemporary satire that mocks the dying breaths of white male entitlement. “The best satire in America is between these covers. So dark, so rich, and so beautifully, eerily rendered.”—David Sedaris. 'I love this book. I know this character. Wait — AM I this character?”—Patton Oswalt
