edit data

Rob Durham is a touring stand-up comedian and a high school English teacher, so his students learned right away not to heckle. As an author, he’s published the highly praised book, Don’t Wear Shorts on Stage, and has just recently released his first YA novel, Around the Block.

With a smile that says I didn’t get my braces off until I was 27, Rob shares the frustrations and joys of teaching. For almost two decades, Rob has built an original act that favors the cleaner side of comedy but should still be kept away from the ears of his students (though they are impressed that he’s opened for 2 of the 3 uncles on Full House).

Great book—longer than most. Definitely some Ian McEwan influence in this novel.
