He's being primed to run the family business but has discovered a talent for making audiences laugh at his silly poems.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAt last, he has found something that might make him attractive to girls - in particular, Harriet Fink - but there's not much call for delicate, earnest poets in the 1970s comedy world of hot-panted dolly birds and battle-axe mothers-in-law.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThen one night he sees Kris Dean on stage and understands that the world of comedy is about to change forever.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nStand Up, Barry Goldman - like Elena Ferrante, but with jokes - is the debut novel of Dave Cohen, stand-up comedian and writer best known as the creator of dozens of songs for multi-BAFTA winning hit TV show Horrible Histories, and less well known as lead singer in the world's first Jewish heavy metal band, Guns'n'Moses","brand":"Dave Cohen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53802513596758,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/cohen-dave-stand-up-barry-goldman-9781068509520","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
