Over the ensuing decades, he found his way to the answer: a lot. From his current vantagepoint as a successful stand-up comic, Kasher looks back on his years careening from subculture to subculture, and he immerses readers in the hilariously strange nuances of each of the scenes he's found himself in. Immediately after getting sober, Kasher began serving as the self-appointed sheriff of his Young People's AA group. He then went on to start his own club-promoting business from scratch in the heart of the 90s California rave scene, and later became a security guard at Burning Man. Once, he caught a man who worked as a coyote at the US border sneaking punk kids into the festival as a side hustle. A child of deaf adults, he's also served as a sign language interpreter, and once helped an angry client cuss out a police officer. Later in life, Kasher went on to reconnect with his Jewish heritage after the death of his father, and now has a booming career as a stand-up comic"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Kasher, Moshe. 650 0 $a Comedians $z United States $v Biography. $9 80494 650 0 $a Subculture $z United States. $9 89373 776 08 $i Online version: 776 08 $a Kasher, Moshe. $t Subculture vulture $d New York : Random House, [2024] $z 9780593231395 $w (DLC) 2023015660 941 $a 5 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20240502010436.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314030424.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240302011906.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240302011518.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20240123010208.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1B8519CAB9BD11EE8D04BAA53BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
