The acclaimed writer and comedian has recently published his debut novel, “The Knights of Wade,” a comic tale set in New Orleans. Having written several successful children’s books, including “Jokes for Crescent City Kids,” his latest work has been favorably compared to “A Confederacy of Dunces” for its quirky local flavor. Tonight Mike encourages the Troubled Men to forego the knavery, and get on with some proper behavior. Results vary.

Topics include a Jazz Fest recap, the Rolling Stones, Neil Young and Crazy Horse, tents, the outdoors, an emotional support alligator, a doctor’s note, Slidell, a school newspaper, LSU, a humor column, a crazy family, a youngest child, a class clown, Don Rickles, Jerry Seinfeld, a comedy class, Toastmasters, eulogies, Jerry Lewis, John Hinckley, Jodie Foster messages, the Comedy House NOLA, Ken Jeong, a construction project, an Angus Lind endorsement, Pelican Publishing, media and communications, Walker Percy, John Kennedy Toole, Flannery O’Connor, “The Neon Bible,” the southern milieu, the Tulane Book Festival, Milton Friedman, joke writing, notebooks, and much more.
