Off Sunset (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798995237907)

A fleeting glimpse into the daily life of a young stand-up comedian in 2001 at the world famous Comedy Store.

As he searches for the punchline of his closing joke, Eddie Mason crosses paths with A-list stars on his way to the top in a salvaged journey towards the American dream.

Set in 2001 Los Angeles over a six day period, this humorous literary novella pulls back the curtain on the stand-up comedy scene at the legendary Comedy Store and the rambunctious debauchery that runs through it's frame.

Amid smoky open mic nights and shaky auditions Eddie Mason struggles to find the next step in his career as he sits outside the front door checking tickets. However, when America's new TV Dad Aubrey Clark returns to the store after a big tour, his presence and influence leads Eddie and his peers on a journey through star-studded West Hollywood, the seemingly un-opportunistic San Fernando Valley of show business, the Central Valley, the Central Coast and the cusp of success itself in the hopes of making it to the next level.

A coming of age comedy that personifies a timeline in which Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas meets LENNY

For fans of comedy in any form or intrigued by the behind-the-scenes in show business, step on stage and soak in the summer sun of Southern California and stage lights with a bunch of professional goofballs.
