Five old friends. Two new partners. One big problem... In Erin's beachfront home in Ireland, I blink at my former best friends and laugh. Is it awkward we haven't seen each other in ten years and nobody really knows why? Yes. So I pull out the champagne with a flourish and start blasting our old playlist. It's a reunion weekend, after all... But it's not long before my determination to have fun starts to fizzle. Perhaps inviting new partners was a mistake. I'm already exhausted by Becky's new girlfriend, and Beth's husband is trying too hard with the compliments. No, I'm not trying out a "cool silver highlights" look. It's a grey hair. Still, at least the others have partners. The most exciting romantic development I can report is a quick flirt with a handsome stranger on the plane over. Even flighty, non-committal Tara is bringing someone. But if that wasn't surprising enough, I could never have anticipated Tara's 'someone' would be the man from my flight. If things weren't already awkward, they certainly are now... The weekend was meant to finally bring us all back together. But will this reunion only push us further apart? A hilarious and uplifting page-turner about the power (and pitfalls) of friendship and romance. Fans of rom-coms by Sophie Kinsella, Marian Keyes and Mhairi McFarlane will devour this laugh-out-loud tale. What readers are saying about Joanna Bolouri: 'The perfect summer read... LOL funny, packed with awkward moments, and romance for a cherry on top. Blissful.' Bobs and Books, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'The quintessential summer beach read! I LOVED this book because it gave me all the things I want in a modern-day love story... Prepare to laugh out loud, and to absolutely love this fabulously fresh new read... witty, humorous and fun.'

Saturday Night Live, Hollywood Comedy, and American Culture sheds new light on the ways in which Saturday Night Live s confrontational, boundary-pushing approach spilled over into film production, contributing to some of the biggest hits in Hollywood history, such as National Lampoon s Animal House, Ghostbusters, and Beverly Hills Cop. Jim Whalley also considers how SNL has adapted to meet the needs of subsequent generations, launching the film careers of Mike Myers, Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell and others in the process. Supported by extensive archival research, some of Hollywood s most popular comedians are placed into the contexts of film and television comic traditions and social and cultural trends in American life.

Friday, the sixth of October, 1995 -- the Factory's work week ended when Virgil Ukocho sent his staff of four out into the neighborhood of Silverlake on a simple errand.With each passing hour, the four and their increasingly ramified network of academics, AIDS widowers, artfags, chumps, freeloaders, illegals and zeitgeist-mongers attended parties, broke things, grieved, grumbled in journals, reformed, left false phone messages, promised money that didn't exist and generally perpetuated the existence found in the glow of the neon rats of the Western Exterminator billboard. By Sunday night Mr. Ukocho's own plans changed, completely upsetting everything for everyone, this time for good.Weekend in Silverlake's themes are the oldest of English fiction -- love and money. But the fustian of art is refused in favor of something at once more heartfelt, ironic, sophisticated and naive in the tradition of the Satyricon, A Sentimental Journey or The Andy Warhol Diaries. Kevin McMahon's astonishing novel surveys affection, confidence, irresponsibility, stolen pleasures, remediless death, unpaid debts, the smell of barbecue and the faint buzz of paper horns to provide an answer to the question On top of all our misfortunes must we also be ridiculous?

A history of sketch comedy on American television and analysis of what it says about American culture and society. In Sketch Comedy: Identity, Reflexivity, and American Television, Nick Marx examines some of the genre’s most memorable?and controversial?moments from the early days of television to the contemporary line-up. Through explorations of sketches from well-known shows such as Saturday Night Live, The State, Inside Amy Schumer, Key & Peele, and more, Marx argues that the genre has served as a battleground for the struggle between comedians who are pushing the limits of what is possible on television and network executives who are more mindful of the financial bottom line. Whether creating new catchphrases or transgressing cultural taboos, sketch comedies give voice to marginalized performers and audiences, providing comedians and viewers opportunities to test their own ideas about their place in society, while simultaneously echoing mainstream cultural trends. The result, Marx suggests, is a hilarious and flexible form of identity play unlike anything else in American popular culture and media. “An excellent study of a long-neglected area in television/media studies and is part of a larger turn toward the centrality of comedy in post-war U.S. culture.” —Jeffrey Sconce, Northwestern University “A stalwart of television . . . sketch comedy finally gets the in-depth critical attention it deserves . . . Marx shows how sketch comedy has fit (and been constrained by) TV’s industrial contexts, from live variety shows in its earliest days to movement across media in the era of multiple platforms. These case studies not only chart sketch comedy’s past, they provide the theoretical and analytical tools to consider its future.” —Ethan Thompson, Texas A&M University Corpus Christi
