SNELSON COMEDY IS DYING (MR)
DEC211261
(W) Paul Constant (A/CA) Fred Harper
In the 1990s, “edgy” standup comic Melville Snelson had it all – but twenty-five years later, his jokes come off as tired and offensive. Desperate for a comeback, Snelson sets out on tour with a group of young, socially conscious comedians. Can a ’90s has-been hit the big time, or is Snelson about to be cancelled for good? A hilarious, definitely adult contemporary satire that mocks the dying breaths of white male entitlement. Contains all five chapters of Snelson: Comedy Is Dying and the five little-seen episodes that introduced the character in the back pages of Hashtag: Danger.
