It used to be: Make good grades, get good SAT scores, write a good essay, and you were on your way to a good college. Now? Kiss that world goodbye. Merit isn’t a sure thing. Connections are everything. And money talks– a lot. Enter Kelly Pritzker (Abbi Jacobson), a shrewd, New Jersey-based college “consultant” who isn’t above faking athletic profiles, seducing administrators, greasing palms, and juicing GPAs. When it comes to getting the under-qualified and uber-privileged into the Ivy League, Kelly’s the closest thing you’ll find to a guarantee...If you can afford her, that is.

Gordy LaSure's passionate about film. He eats film, he drinks film, and sometimes he'll even watch a film. But most of all, he loves talking about film, and how they'd be a shit-ton better if only people would pull their asses out of their ears and listen to Gordy LaSure. Why are some films bad and some films terrible? How come just a handful of films (Titanic, Porky's, Dirty Harry) are any good at all? Gordy'll tell you How and Why, and he'll give you a shot of Wherefore on the side. And he doesn't shoot from the hip; he shoots from the gut.

Ophira Eisenberg is the hilarious host of NPR's hit trivia comedy show Ask Me Another, a regular host and storyteller at The Moth, and a stand-up comedian based in Brooklyn, NY - but originally from Canada. Ophira's new comedy album, Bangs!, recorded at the intimate Brooklyn mainstay, Union Hall, showcases her unique ability to seamlessly move from acerbic one-liners to autobiographical stories, while airing biting commentaries on the dating app phenomenon TINDR, being married to a comic book nerd, and the singular luxuries of big city living - like being able to cry in public, undisturbed.

Taking its title from a group of stories that begin the book, Bream Gives Me Hiccups moves from contemporary LA to the dorm rooms of an American college to ancient Pompeii, throwing the listener into a universe of social misfits, reimagined scenes from history, and ridiculous overreactions. In one piece a tense email exchange between a young man and his girlfriend is taken over by the man's sister, who is obsessed with the Bosnian genocide ("The situation reminds me of a little historical blip called the Karadordevo agreement").

Das politische Kabarett ist angeblich tot. Benjamin Eisenberg ist quicklebendig. Sind es doch sonst die Bürger, die zur Zielscheibe der Medien, der Politik oder der Wirtschaft werden, dreht Eisenberg den Spieß um und hat in seinem stets aktuellen Solo-Programm alles: "Im Visier". Im humoristischen Fokus: Regierung, Opposition, Bundeswehreinsätze, Ministerposten und Anti-Terror-Maßnahmen - nichts wird von dem Bottroper Kabarettisten vor Ironie und Sarkasmus verschont.

Screw Everyone is comedian Ophira Eisenberg's wisecracking account of how she spent most of her life saying "yes" to everything - and everyone - and how that attitude ultimately helped her overcome her phobia of commitment. Skeptical about long-term relationships, Eisenberg approached dating as a sort of research experiment from early on: She spent her twenties traveling from futon to futon and gathering data, figuring that one day she'd put it all together somehow and build her own perfect Frankenmate.

“With this charming, sardonic debut, stand up comedian and actor Todd Barry makes readers laugh as hard as the audiences at his shows” (Publishers Weekly) in this hilarious book of travel essays from his time on tour in the US, Canada, and Israel. Hello. It’s Todd Barry. Yes, the massively...

From Mike Pesca, host of the popular Slate podcast The Gist, comes the greatest sports minds imagining how the world would change if a play, trade, injury, or referee's call had just gone the other way. "Intriguing...thought provoking...delightful." --The Washington Post No announcer ever...
