Book Club: A Comedy Show Good Orbit

Book Club is a comedy variety show where hosts Colin Stokes and Blythe Roberson (The New Yorker, The Onion), along with some of NYC's best comedians, read the books so you don't have to. Held monthly at Union Hall.

Book Club decides to take it easy for once, so we read a children's book: Nancy Drew and the Clue in the Diary. Discussion topics include: how rich is Nancy? Is Ned actually hot? And why the hell is everyone so mean to Bess?

With: Jen Spyra, Nore Davis, Joe Zimmerman, Rebecca O'Neal and your lovely hosts Colin Stokes and Blythe Roberson



Live sound and recording by Harry Scott. Produced and edited by Shannon Manning.
Recorded live January 27, 2018 at Union Hall.

This episode is WHAT HAPPENED by Hillary Rodham Clinton. Listen and laugh with us, or Blythe sobbing while reading this book on a plane will be all for naught!

We had some sizzling possibly political comedy by:
Dylan Marron (Conversations With People Who Hate Me)
Halcyon Person (Nickelodeon)
Steven Markow (New Yorker, Turner Masters Memory Hospital)
Catherine Cohen as Hillary
