At six o'clock on September 11, 2001, David Brenner interrupted his day-long vigil of TV news and desperate e-mail messages to his New York friends and acquaintances. He showered, put on a suit and tie, drove to the Las Vegas showroom where he had been working since the previous November, and performed 90 minutes of comedy. Soon after, he told his manager to book him on a nationwide tour. He called it the "Laughter to the People" tour, and it became the most gratifying chapter in his long and distinguished career.Featuring audience-tested highlights from his standup shows, I Think There's a Terrorist in My Soup confirms Brenner's conviction that "laughter is the best medicine, and if one can laugh, one can live." He riffs on a wide range of issues, from the personal to the political. It's hilarity with a healthy dose of humanity and hope--precisely what our nation needed then and needs today.
