Finished reading: Where Do Comedians Go When They Die? by Milton Jones 📚 A fictionalized memoir of sorts by British standup comedian Milton Jones. The narrator’s reminiscences let Jones ruminate on his craft, his colleagues, his audiences, his agents, and the emotionally brutal pasting a comic runs the risk of taking every time he goes to work. Not a great novel, but if you skim the ludicrous interludes where the narrator is held in a Chinese jail cell, you’ll pick up hard-won details of a comic’s life and art.
