Brenda Monk is Funny by Katy Brand
A whip-smart, devastatingly candid snapshot of the reality, the brutality and fragility of the comedy industry from an exciting new voice in fiction
"What a debut novelDoesn't hide the roots of sadness prevalent in the best comedy, but conversely finds the laughter in the darkness that banishes all that gloom. If you're a fan of stand-up comedy, this compulsive, one-sitting romp giving the account of a female comic's ascent, both professionally and spiritually, is absolutely essential." -- Irvine Welsh
