Welcome back for another episode of Nick's Non-fiction!

For August 2019 we have Enter Talking by Joan Rivers.

Joan Rivers (1993-2014) was a pioneer female comedian specializing in self depreciating humor and shock comedy. Her autobiography follows how she paved her own autonomous comedy career during the old cut and dry days of showbiz.

Upon my first open mic anniversary we dive into a personal topic sharing stories from my one years olds worth of experience on stage. Perfect commiseration for other aspiring comics out there and tips for beginners interested in the craft.

I'll see you first thing in September for a brand new episode!
