She's been an assistant at the Late Night Show for way too long, she's adopted a "business casual" approach to dating to save herself from the embarrassment of seeking genuine connection, and she's content to allow her gregarious roommate, Isabelle, to orchestrate her entire social life. And yet, Presley is absolutely enamored with her job and the world of stand-up comedy. The joy she finds in discovering up-and-coming comedians, the beauty and connection in their shared humor - it's enough for now. Enter Susan Clark, the childhood best friend of Presley's late mother, whose death still knocks the wind out of Presley whenever she reaches for the phone. Susan is married to the head of the network where Presley works, and she is determined to take Presley under her wing and ease her way through life in the big city. She's also determined to connect Presley with her son, the bright and affable Lawrence, who couldn't be further from Presley's type. As Presley grapples with the loss of her mother and finds her people among those who seek out comedy to make the world a bit brighter, Humor Me reminds us that friendship can emerge from where you least expect it, and shared laughter can ease some of the deepest pain"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Stand-up comedy $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Grief $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Friendship $v Fiction. 941 $a 1 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240702032715.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9B5BB31C383D11EFA74ADF9234ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
