A Very Punchable Face by Colin Jost
Tuesday, December 08
1:00pm - 2:00pm
Downers Grove Public Library
Conference Room B (Max Capacity 10)We’ll discuss A Very Punchable Face by Colin Jost. Books are available at the Adult and Teen Services Desk one month before each discussion.
From growing up in a family of firefighters on Staten Island to commuting three hours a day to high school, to attending Harvard while Facebook was created, Jost shares how he has navigated the world like a slightly smarter Forrest Gump. You’ll go behind the scenes at SNL and Weekend Update (where he’s written some of the most memorable sketches and jokes of the past fifteen years). And you’ll experience the life of a touring stand-up comedian—from performing in rural college cafeterias at noon to opening for Dave Chappelle at Radio City Music Hall. Told with a healthy dose of self-deprecation, A Very Punchable Face reveals the brilliant mind behind some of the dumbest sketches on television, and lays bare the heart and humor of a hardworking guy—with a face you can’t help but want to punch. -provided by publisher
