Resumen del Editor
After working on his Southern accent in Oklahoma for most of his youth, comedian-actor Brandon Vestal discovered stand-up comedy as his calling and took his talents on the road, quickly establishing himself as one of the best comic talents in the country. Ultimately landing in Los Angeles, he says he loves the sun and the beaches, but not the congestion. "It’s not even being in traffic in LA that ticks me off," he pines. "It’s the guy on the radio that tells you about the traffic you’re sitting in." Vestal has made his mark in the world of comedy competitions and festivals, duking it out on the competitive comedy scene. He was the winner of the Hollywood Comedy Festival, crowned "Best of the West" at the Detroit Comedy Festival, a finalist at the World Series of Comedy in Las Vegas. After his years in the trenches, this insightful storyteller’s work has really begun to pay off. Brandon has appeared on NBC’s Last Comic Standing, Man Up Stand Up, and Comedy Time TV. He can also be heard on XM/ Sirius’s "Blue Collar" and "Raw Dog" channels as well as "The Bob & Tom Show". When Mr. Vestal is not blazing through the comedy or college circuit, he is working with his comedy troupe, Almost Mediocre, which he co-founded. Their website www.AlmostMediocre.com , named "Best of the Web" by National Lampoon, showcases the group’s hilarious original content, including blog posts and sketches. Brandon Vestal’s low-key, deeply personal and honest style has made him a fast favorite in the comedy world, a "Don’t Miss" for college audiences, and a club favorite. He puts on an amazing show and is a definite must listen.

With his Aunt Glo (Washington) insisting on a proper burial, but an urn of ashes already in his hand, Gil gets thrown into a car by his best friend (Newell).

In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

Traumatized by the bombing of Dresden at the time he had been imprisoned, Pilgrim drifts through all events and history, sometimes deeply implicated, sometimes a witness. He is surrounded by Vonnegut's usual large cast of continuing characters (notably here the hack science fiction writer Kilgore Trout and the alien Tralfamadorians, who oversee his life and remind him constantly that there is no causation, no order, no motive to existence).

Hilarious, fascinating, and a roller coaster of dizzying, historical what-ifs, Napoleon's Hemorrhoids is a potpourri for serious historians and casual history buffs. In one of Phil Mason's many revelations, you'll learn that Communist jets were two minutes away from opening fire on American planes during the Cuban missile crisis, when they had to turn back as they were running out of fuel. You'll discover that before the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon's painful hemorrhoids prevented him from mounting his horse to survey the battlefield.

What would happen if a shy introvert lived like a gregarious extrovert for one year? If she knowingly and willingly put herself in perilous social situations that she’d normally avoid at all costs? Writer Jessica Pan intends to find out. With the help of various extrovert mentors, Jessica sets up a series of personal challenges (talk to strangers, perform stand-up comedy, host a dinner party, travel alone, make friends on the road, and much, much worse) to explore whether living like an extrovert can teach her lessons that might improve the quality of her life.

“The Heron” is the nickname a big-city accountant has attached to himself in his new home near San Diego, where he’s using the alias to avoid a hit man who may be after him. It seems a former client believes that The Heron has skipped town with several million dollars not his own. Don Winslow’s ensuing, entertaining yarn is by turns twisty, dark, and comical as we observe the delicate dance between the pursuer and the pursued.
