About this book
Product Description This new release completes Brenner's recording of I Think There's a Terrorist in My Soup, his brilliant, healing post-9/11 comedy collection. Featuring audience-tested highlights from his stand-up shows, Another Terrorist confirms Brenner's conviction that "laughter is the best medicine, and if one can laugh, one can live." He riffs on a wide range of issues from the personal to the political. It's hilarity with a healthy dose of humanity and hope—precisely what our nation needed then and needs today. About the Author DAVID BRENNER (1936-2014) was an award-winning documentary producer before turning his talents to comedy in the 1970s. He made a record 158 appearances on The Tonight Show during the Johnny Carson era, starred in HBO specials, and made regular appearances on all the major talk shows. He was the author of five books. From AudioFile David Brenner shares his comic material and theories about the importance of humor with well-timed delivery and great zest. He knows he's funny, and his laughter at his own jokes and at himself is infectious. Brenner is pathologically humorous. Everything can be funny, as demonstrated by his riffs on marriage, children, sports, and going to the dentist. His sometimes crude language is offset by his genuine delivery on topics such as quitting smoking and using humor to make the best of a difficult situation. In fact, his compelling testimony about quitting smoking might be helpful for anyone trying to break the habit. Overall, Brenner's East Coast/Philly/New York patois is the perfect vehicle for his manifesto to lighten up without lighting up.
