Comedy Caper Coming-of-Age Novel ‘The Lobster Heist’ the Debut Novel by Popular Comedy Writer Erin McLaughlin Reaches #1 in New Releases

/in /by

New York, NY  – An underemployed hot dog dresser, his reluctant friends, and a hypnotically blue and totally purloined crustacean are on the move, and quickly. Why? Because life if short, and sometimes, you’ve just got to get the lobster. The Lobster Heist (978-1-954158-21-4), from Humorist Books and Erin McLaughlin, scuttles into bookstores and e-platforms on August 29, 2023.

Apart from his thankless job at Hot Dawgy Dawgs, Brooklyn’s best and worst hot dog joint, twenty-something Josh Cantillo doesn’t have much going on in his life. Unless you count his never-ending quest to find his lobsterman father who went out for milk one day and never came back.

 One of the only things that Josh remembered about him was their shared enchantment with a rare, metallic-blue lobster that resides in a local, rundown Chinese restaurant.And when Josh finds out that his father is dying, he’ll go to any means to kidnap that blue lobster and bring it to him.

It’s a journey that will require the assistance of friends and enemies, old and new, and which will send him into the path of underworld criminals, crusty fisherman, romantic rivals, and various other hidden and hilarious dangers of New England.

“I wrote The Lobster Heist because I spent my entire life feeling that a piece of me was missing, because I didn’t know my father. As I wrote the book, I learned alongside Josh that much more than that makes up who you are,” McLaughlin says. “I also really wanted to publish a novel by the time I was 26, and Humorist Books made that happen for me!”

In it’s first week in pre-orders The Lobster Heist has reached #1 in New Releases in Humorous American Fiction.

The Lobster Heist (ISBN: 978-1-954158-21-4) will be available on August 29, 2023, in paperback format wherever books are sold.

Humorist Books to Publish Supernatural Comedy ‘Attack of the Rom-Com’ by Martti Nelson

/in /by

New York, NY –Lookout! Vengeful movie tropes — and true love — are primed to strike in Attack of the Rom-Com, a warm, wild, and hilarious supernatural comedy. 

About the only thing that tough, cynical, and profane Sophie Sweet adores is her ride-or-die BFF Jodie Edwards. Sophie has been hurt too many times to bother with other people, and that goes double for love, a ridiculous fairy tale designed to keep women down. Or so Sophie says.

Every year, Sophie and Jodie visit a fortune teller, but this time, they’re met with a surprise: Tiffani the Psychic. This bubbly, pink-clad medium will stop at nothing to get to Tiffany’s squishy, sensitive heart. Sophie wants no part of that. 

Too bad. 

Tiffani is coming, whether she likes it or not — and she definitely won’t like being subject to a string of magical, nightmarish, and seemingly inescapable scenarios built out of rom-com cliches. 

Can Tiffani prove to Sophie that love can heal all wounds? And that love is also right there, in front of her oblivious face, whether she likes it or not? Watch out for the Attack of the Rom-Com.

“I love writing books that make women feel like superheroines who can do anything no matter who they are,” Nelson says. “Attack of the Rom-Com is about fundamental feminine relationships, the ones keeping our brains from exploding in a ridiculous world full of rom-com nightmares. This book is for every lady who’d gleefully help bury the body for their girls.”

Amidst the summer of Barbie and a reassessment of cultural tropes through a feminist lens, Attack of the Rom-Com is a taut, funny, and thoughtful addition to the conversation. It will be available on August 15, 2023 in paperback format wherever books are sold, and in various major e-reader formats.

NYC-Based Mom’s Debut Book of Puns, Wordplay Dumb Jokes for Smart Folks Aims to “Take Back Dad Jokes”

/in /by

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

NYC-based mom’s debut book of puns, wordplay Dumb Jokes For Smart Folks aims to “take back dad jokes”

NY, NY

 

A book of “dumb jokes”, as she puts it, is the first release and writer, comedian and musician Jessica Delfino’s debut book in a two-book deal with Humorist Books, the publisher of the online satire website, Weekly Humorist. The title borrows inspiration from “dad jokes”, children’s joke books and even risque humor.

 

Dumb Jokes For Smart Folks ($13.99) combines her original takes on puns, riddles, wordplay, traditionally-styled bits (consisting of a set up followed by a punchline) and deep meta dives into the classic joke form to deliver laughs for anyone who digs a good–or dad–joke. To get the most from it, readers must be willing to chuckle or guffaw at some and groan at others. The book is written for adults, and for kids whose parents like to answer awkward questions.

 

Her comedian friends took to Twitter to show support of the book’s upcoming release: retweets and well-wishes @JessicaDelfino included Jim Gaffigan, Sarah Cooper, Alex Baze, Jena Friedman, Nell Scovell, Alison Becker, Negin Farsad, Marina Franklin, Myq Kaplan and Sarah Solemani, among others.

 

Kidding around

 

Writer, comedian and musician Delfino grew up in New England. This allowed the perfect quiet, boring backdrop for a precocious girl such as herself to take in a wide spectrum of comedy above her age level. Maine humorist Tim Sample, the music of The Dr. Demento Show and Rodney Dangerfield’s “It Ain’t Easy Bein’ Me” are some of her early comedic influences (and later, 2 Live Crew), along with a varied literary humor canon, including “The Little Golden Book of Jokes and Riddles”, the poetry of Lewis Carroll (which her mom read to her as a child), “Truly Tasteless Jokes”, and every book that Stephen King ever wrote.

 

Jessica moved to New York City and worked steadfastly as a stand-up comedian and comedic musician there in the early ‘00s, sharing stages alongside then newbies Kevin Hart, Chelsea Peretti, Nick Kroll and Amy Schumer, among others. Ahead of the curve with a ribald 2006 YouTube viral comedy music video, twisted trailblazer Delfino’s early ode to a woman’s body part may have even helped pave the way for Awkwafina and Cardi B’s WAP.

 

She toured on the success of the aforementioned video until 2016, when motherhood took center stage. She shifted her focus to writing satire, essays and articles for publications such as The New Yorker Shouts, McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, The New York Times, Working Mother, Mother Magazine, The Atlantic, SELF Magazine, High Times and Huffington Post. Her short, comedic parenting essay, “Driving Under The Influence Of Child” was featured in “Family Travel”, a book published by Gestalten in August 2020. Her writing was also included in Lenka Clayton’s “Mothers’ Days” journal. “Writing satire is a form of comedy that I can acceptably do in front of my child,” she explained.

 

Samples from her book

 

In addition to jokes that are straight-forward (and clean), such as:

 

How do you poach an egg? 

You just take it when the chicken isn’t looking

What do british people call chips? 

Bloody delicious, mate!

 

There are plenty of NSFWs (and bizarre references) in the mix:

 

What happens when a woman gets impregnated by a Moby Dick?

She births the Triplets of Melville

 

How long does it take for a man with a large penis to wash his goods?

A very schlong time

 

There are also “runs” of jokes, where a series of jokes are told together, building on each other:

 

What do you call someone who is hungry and mad at the same time?

Hangry

 

What do you call someone who is hungry and sexy at the same time?

Horngry

 

What do call someone who gets hungry after sex?

Donegry

 

What do you call a one legged pair of pants?

Dungaree

 

What do you call someone who works up an appetite while engaging in witty wordplay?

Pungry

 

And some that even resemble crossword puzzle clues, sort of:

 

The opposite of out +

the thing a fish swims with +

what you say when you don’t know the answer +

what the Brits drink all the damn time =

Infiniti

(In / Fin / Uh / Tea)

“Mom jokes”

 

Some of her references are literary or slightly advanced, yet, still playfully dumb; others nod at what is historically known as a “dad joke”. Delfino, mom of one toddler, claims that a goal with this book is to take “dad jokes” back.

 

“Dads aren’t the only ones who can tell dumb jokes,” Delfino explains. “It just seems that way, because they get to be the fun, cool ones while moms are constantly busy and overextended–but I’m a mom, and I can tell dumb jokes, too. Except I call them mom jokes.”

 

Anyone in need of a laugh (which is pretty much everyone?) can pre-order their copy at DumbJokesForSmartFolks.com, to arrive just in time for Thanksgiving.

 

No refunds.

Humorist Books Announces 2 Book Deal With Comedian Jessica Delfino

/in /by

NEW YORK- Weekly Humorist imprint Humorist Books to publish Dumb Jokes For Smart Folks (due out November 27th) and Moms Who Kill, by comic and New Yorker contributor Jessica Delfino.

Dumb Jokes For Smart Folks combines wordplay and humorous themes to deliver laughs to anyone who digs a good–or at least a heartfeltfully written–joke. To get the most out of this book, readers should be willing to chuckle or guffaw at some and groan at others. It’s written for adults and any precocious kids left out there who still read their parents’ joke books. 

The second title, Moms Who Kill, is a collection of humorous essays by mothers about raising children and family. It should be noted that these are no ordinary mothers, but such luminary comedians and writers as NPR’s Ophira Eisenberg, The New Yorker’s Emily Flake, and many more.

Dumb Jokes For Smart Folks is inspired by the children’s joke books and even some of the more adult humor that Jessica Delfino grew up reading and listening to in her New England hometown. Maine humorist Tim Sample, the music of the Dr. Demento show and Rodney Dangerfield’s “It Ain’t Easy Bein’ Me” are some of her earliest humor influences (and later, 2 Live Crew). These, along with such a wide and varied literary humor canon as “The Little Golden Book of Jokes and Riddles”, to the poetry of Lewis Carroll that her mother used to read to her, to “Truly Tasteless Jokes,” along with every book that Stephen King ever wrote. Always precocious, she read and took in comedy, movies and music

Jessica writing jokes from a remote location in the woods.

above her age level, and was ahead of the curve with a 2006 YouTube viral comedy music video: an ode to a woman’s body part that Awkwafina and WAP might have even been inspired by.

Jessica worked as a stand-up comedian and comedic musician in New York City from the early 2000s, touring on the success of the aforementioned viral video from 2006 until more recently, when motherhood took center stage. She shifted her focus to writing satire, essays and articles for publications such as The New Yorker Shouts, McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, The New York Times, Working Mother, Mother Magazine, The Atlantic, SELF Magazine, Huffington Post and Pitchfork. Her short, comedic parenting essay “Driving Under The Influence Of Child” was also featured in Gestalten’s parenting book published in August 2020, and her writing was included in Lenka Clayton’s, “Mothers’ Days” journal.
