Synopsis

Freedoms 2nd edition-regular print taps into “Cocaine, prostitution, poverty, exploitation, torture, murder: It's the world of comedy, and there's nothing funny about it.” K Johnson owns the Polaris, Toronto’s largest comedy club. Every night the comics who work there put on a killer show; everyone leaves with a smile on their face. Then the house lights come up and the façade is gone. For five years K has lost his bid to host the Sweetwater Comedy Festival to repugnant has-been television icon with a penchant for young male aides, Dickie Craig, and he can’t understand why. “*And what do I get for my efforts? A fuck you very much, K. And Craig? His place is shit! It’s a dive. It’s in the basement for Christ’s sake!*” K will not be a six-time loser and vows to do whatever it takes to win. But even he can’t do it alone. Standing on the shoulders of his best talent (including Lisse Bergen: The smart-mouthed, glass-closeted comedienne who’s been with K since the beginning, and Sheldon Currie: once the ‘Funniest Man in Vegas’ now impoverished and struggling just to get by), he sets in motion a series of events that even he could never have imagined. He’ll push himself and everyone around him to the breaking point. Fasten your seat-belts...not everyone gets out of this show alive.

À propos de l?auteur

FREEDOM CHEVALIER was born in a trunk. After appearing in more than 100 musicals and touring most of north America, she retired from live performance–at the age of 25. After a successful stint terminating runners, this diligent Sandman remains imbued by dark forms and even darker delicacies, spending her days rearranging the alphabet into wicked little tales about everyday monsters, while snacking on Soylent green wafers. She is the author of several dramatic plays, countless feature articles, short stories, songs and poems. *Pundit* is her first full length novel. On a personal note, she lives with #MarcelTheCat, and her little dog, too, Tallulah. She currently resides outside of Boston and is desperately trying to get back to the bay...and she really has heard every possible joke about her name. Additional information can be found on her website: www.FreedomChevalier.com
