From acclaimed comedy writer and proficient sitter BILL ALIVE (author of RICH, SKINNY, AND SUPER SPIRITUAL!) comes a ground-breaking new humor collection that will not actually break anything, don't worry! It's just an expression!
You do love parody, right?
Parody is that special flavor of comedy where, beneath all the surface humor, there's always that extra layer of riffing on the target genre.
And you've just found an entire book full.
In Don't Dance on the Lobsters, you'll sample a veritable buffet of short, delectable parody pieces across many different genres and formats, including:
- Profound, thoughtfully illustrated poems about the human condition, with titles like, "The WISDOM of Perspiration!"
- Fake interviews with notables such as the inventor of a new solar-powered sports watch with a real "killer feature": it shrieks like a kettle when the battery gets low, forcing you to at least go outside once in awhile. (Or does it?)
- A (short) soap opera set in a small Christian college.
- An even shorter preview for a horror movie set in a hotel where the killer leaves signs around like, "You Can't Use the Emergency Exits, That Would Be Cheating".
- A "live transcription" blog starring two marketers who literally just record themselves trying to talk shop while they run random errands... buying lobsters, for instance...
... and much, much more.
If you love short, zany humor pieces, irreverent yet affectionate spoofs, and the kind of sketch comedy you might see on Saturday Night Live! or (once upon a time) The Muppet Show, you won't want to miss Don't Dance on the Lobsters!
Get it now.
