About this ebook
Barry Friedman, a veteran of 30 years on the comedy road, delivers another punchline on standup. Filled with garden-variety kleptomaniacs, large, rum-drinking Bahamians, bitter, glorious, troubled, and sex-addicted women with ankle monitors, loquacious drug addicts, first-time Vegas lesbians, and tall, neurotic Jews in sweaters— and these are the sane people—The Joke Was On Me is the story, his story, of laughs and love and almost fame. It’s all true—as much as comedy will allow anyway.
About the author
Barry is also the author of Funny You Should Mention It, and Four Days And A Year Later. He is an essayist, a political commentator, and a reporter for a petroleum geology magazine, even though he knows precious little about the industry and has hurt himself pumping his own gas. A native New Yorker, he started his comedy career in Tulsa because while Manhattan had more career opportunities, Oklahoma had more parking. He can be found at barrysfriedman.com and barrysfriedman.substack.com.
