Don't miss more comedy from Kate Clinton.(P) and ©2001 Uproar EntertainmentEditorial reviews
Kate Clinton has been performing comedy for over 30 years and has created several successful one-woman shows. Clinton describes herself as a "feminist humorist", and her smart, politically charged comedy comes from her own unique perspective as a gay Catholic living in America. In her live comedy special, Read THESE Lips, Clinton touches on a variety of clever bits including, why gay men are bad bowlers, her screwball trip to India with her partner, and well-timed quips on The Supreme Court, the Oscars, and big businesses like Microsoft.

Story4 out of 5 stars 698
Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 2,323
Separated by 10 years, 3,000 miles, and the unrelenting stresses of adulthood, best friends Janet and Serena plan a 40th birthday girls’ trip to reconnect. But after a massive crash, they’re the only survivors to wash ashore on an uncharted Caribbean Island. Armed with only the clothes on their backs and zero survival skills, they fight to overcome hunger, thirst, deadly wildlife—and most terrifyingly—decades of accrued resentment. Can they find their way home, or will they kill each other first?

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).

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,696
A bad best man’s speech can ruin a wedding. Why do we plan every detail of a perfect day and then give the groom’s idiot best friend five minutes of total power? Enter Nate (Glen Powell), a speechwriter-for-hire who helps people write incredible best man speeches. To keep the best man from embarrassing himself (and the newlyweds), Nate uses his list of don’ts: Don’t mention the exes, don’t be rated R, and don’t bum everyone out. Nate’s system never fails. That is, until he meets Dan (Nicholas Braun).

READ THIS REVIEW! KATE IS AWESOME
Would you consider the audio edition of Read THESE Lips to be better than the print version?
It's a recording of a stand up routine. And a really funny one. Kate gives us her views on life, Politics, love and makes you laugh really hard. This was recorded in the early 2000's when George W, Bush was president. And she does give Bush a hard time along with Bob Doyal and the Mars Probe just to name a few of her topics she talks about. Even though some of this is dated it's still a Dyke's dream to rock your world.. Kate is the god-mother of lesbian comedy. But she doesn't just talk about gay stuff, no she talks about stuff in America. She is just plain funny.;
Who was your favorite character and why?
It's all Kate all the time; doing one of her best monologues. She makes you laugh until you are crying;You laugh so hard you sides will hurt.
Which scene was your favorite?
The parts were she talks about George Bush, And The parts were she is talking about the Oscar and Barbara Walters. And when she talks about going to India and her girlfriend and Bob Jones U. And the Microsoft parts. And I could go on and on. It's just a funny CD and it's just a great funny stand up routine.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I like how she pointed out how small the lesbian community is and how every one seems to know each other and how we just seem to trade around our dating pool. You have to hear her routine on this but it's funny.
Any additional comments?
Kate is the God Mother of Lesbian comedy and her insights into life are a lot of fun to hear even though this a dated CD. It is still funny. Kate just is still relevant today. And part of our history, Don't miss this.
