Tight Five
Ben Coble has joined the exciting 1980s Boston comedy scene where the goal is five minutes of late night TV fame. Standup comedy in nightclubs, however, isn't glamorous. Ben and his fellow performers travel to strange road gigs across New England and develop a hilarious camaraderie. Ben's love life wavers, and California beckons him. Some comedians will achieve their dreams of success, some will keep dreaming, and some will be rudely awakened. But Ben and his friends share wild adventures that will bond them forever.
Drawing on his past in the 80s comedy clubs of Boston and San Francisco, Dan Spencer's laugh-out-loud novel gives an insider's perspective of the rollicking exploits in the green rooms, on the road gigs, at the TV tapings, and in the bizarre lives of standup comedians from a memorable era.
