| Comedian Joe Mande’s Adaptation of Glenn Beck’s Novel | UCBcomedy.com |
Apparently, the new hot thing to do when making a comedy video is just to find lousy material written by someone else and then winkingly read it on stage. Joe Mande, the comedian behind the blog-to-book Look at This Fucking Hipster, wrote a screenplay based on Glenn Beck’s The Overton Window and then had people like Kristin Schall, Big Lake’s Chris Gethard and stand-up and 30 Rock writer Hannibal Buress perform a staged reading of it at New York’s UCB Theatre. The dialogue is about what you’d expect from a novel by Glenn Beck.
