That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore: On the Death and Rebirth of Comedy - Paperback
by Lou Perez (Author)
The Woke are killing comedy--and that makes being a comedian today better than ever!
The Woke--that humorless, joyless, shame-inducing virus--are killing comedy...and that is great for comedians! So argues award-winning comedian Lou Perez in his hilarious and provocative book debut, That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore. Through the lens of comedy, Lou examines anti-racism, sex, gender, cancel culture, and all the modern-day sacred cows that have been propped up in recent years. An equal-opportunity offender, nothing is safe from his mockery. Lou punches up, he punches down--he's throwing haymakers in every direction! This book is a cancellable offense--but worth the risk. It's time to fight back: to create, to celebrate, and most importantly, to laugh. These are amazing times, in no small part thanks to the Woke gift to comedy.
