Summary

It's Week 3 of your January Book Lisp. With no spoilers until week 4, Jon and Sarah discuss topics inspired by this month's read, “Summer Island” by Kristin Hannah. From late night talk shows, to sitcoms - and everything in between, Jon and Sarah discuss the ups and downs of stand-up comedy. Plus, you don’t need to be the class clown to be funny, don’t try your bits on them at a party, what is your happy place, and much more. Enjoy!
