Comic Mike Player at Books Inc. in the Castro March 22, 2009

Comic, author and editor Mike Player will be stopping by to read from his book "Out on the Edge: America's Rebel Comics". Joining him will be fellow comics and contributors, Charlie Ballard, Karen Ripley and Jen Slusser.

In clubs, at public events across America, and on television, more queer comedians are coming out and telling their stories-fighting the battle in the trenches of pop culture. How are they faring and where do we still need to go? This is a fun and illuminating trip behind the scenes with America's queer comics-as they see it. Margaret Cho, outspoken comedian, pens the book's introduction.

About the author:

Mike Player is the creator of America's First and Continuing Queer Comedy Festival, Outlaugh! He is also a cast member and the director/creator of The Gay Mafia improv/sketch comedy group, based in Los Angeles.
