Book excerpt: When unemployed TV writer Lenny Sullivan goes to visit a friend in Key West, he discovers a bullying businessman in league with a pair of bumbling mobsters is plotting to burn down his best friend's struggling comedy club. The pill-popping star of his last best chance at a hit show is under a death threat from a very sore loser in a love triangle. And Lenny's staunchest ally in the fight to keep the club, the star, and the laughs alive happens to be a 90-something named Bert the Shirt. Fortunately, Bert has a soft spot for comedians and is the savviest if not the most grammatical guy in town... Deftly balancing suspense and humor, mayhem and romance, Key West color and showbiz glitz, One Big Joke makes a sly but impassioned argument for the saving grace of comedy in tough times.
