Two down-on-their-luck comedians embark on a road tour and find more than a few good laughs on the way.
Olivia Vincent dreams of stand-up comedy stardom. Bustling around a busy Manhattan office by day and hustling from club to club by night, she can’t catch a break. Work is falling through the cracks, and after ditching a major client to make a performance, Olivia gets the boot.
Determined to pursue her dreams, she snags an audition in Los Angeles for a coveted spot on late-night TV. But the only way to get there is to join seasoned stand-up Nick Leto on a cross-country road tour. She agrees on one condition—no funny business.
Icky comedy condos, tiny smoking nightclubs, and Nick’s incessant classic rock radio are a far cry from life on the Upper East Side. Reality sets in, and Olivia wonders if she can hack it in showbiz or if she’s just a hack. As Nick helps Olivia improve her act along the way, sparks begin to fly and ignite what they thought was an impossible flame. Maybe being stuck with Nick in a Jeep isn’t so bad. As long as it doesn’t get in the way of Olivia’s actual funny business.

Olivia Vincent is an attorney in New York City, pushing papers in a boring job. She's also a stand-up comedian, picking up gigs in the evenings and waiting to make it big. One night, Olivia opens for a somewhat famous comedian, Nick Leto, blowing off an important client meeting in the process. Not surprisingly, she's fired the next morning. Faced with an imminent lack of income, she agrees to go on a multistate road trip opening for Nick. And there's no luxurious tour bus. Nick and Olivia travel the country in a Jeep full of merch, staying in rundown condos and roach motels. Along the way, they're pulled into a series of wacky encounters--and as their bond grows, Olivia realizes she's falling for Nick. Aksel (Delia Suits Up, 2021) returns with her signature edgy yet readable style. As expected for a comic novel, there are laughs on every page; like Delia, this is a quick read perfect for the beach. The road-trip scenario will appeal to readers of Annabeth Albert's Conventionally Yours (2020).COPYRIGHT(2022) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
