Reviews
Lou Perez is an exhilarating reminder of what sane people sounded like before social media, pronoun obsessions, and plague paranoia destroyed most Americans' minds, leaving them tragically incapable of appreciating comedy or life--especially in New York City, where he was living before writing the book. Without hatred or pettiness but with many laughs, Perez shows how that which parades itself as 'tolerance' is often just another excuse to make one's fellow humans miserable, sometimes while advancing one's own career. (Of course, the culture has moved so far to the left that this book might now get 'canceled' just for having a cover photo resembling one from a Smiths album, since their lead singer Morrisey, though a gay vegan immigrant musician who hates Margaret Thatcher, has recently been criticized for his wariness of Islam. It never ends. But if Morrissey himself reads the book, he might like the chapter defending Charlie Hebdo , or the oddly frequent jokes suggesting Perez is bi-curious.)
Synopsis
The Woke are killing comedy--and that makes being a comedian today better than ever! The Woke--that humorless, joyless, shame-inducing virus--are killing comedy...and that is great for comedians! So argues award-winning comedian Lou Perez in his hilarious and provocative book debut, That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore. Through the lens of comedy, Lou examines anti-racism, sex, gender, cancel culture, and all the modern-day sacred cows that have been propped up in recent years. An equal-opportunity offender, nothing is safe from his mockery. Lou punches up, he punches down--he's throwing haymakers in every direction! This book is a cancellable offense--but worth the risk. It's time to fight back: to create, to celebrate, and most importantly, to laugh. These are amazing times, in no small part thanks to the Woke gift to comedy. Plus, reading That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore will take care of your diversity reading quota. Lou has the results from his DNA test to prove it.
