Tickled Pink - Rita Rudner (CD)
Title: Title: Tickled Pink Author: Rita Rudner Genre: Humor Format: CD, 4 CDs, 4 Hours (Abridged) Synopsis: Mindy Solomon absolutely has to leave Miami. Florida is bad for her head and her hair. She dreams of a dancing career on Broadway and moves to New York, but after a string of failures and mishaps, she realizes that she needs to rethink her grand plan. Finding herself spending way too much time in the comedy club where her future ex-boyfriend works, she nervously goes up onstage one night. People laugh. Not in the places where Mindy thought they'd laugh, but hey, it's a start. Mindy and her friend Ursula Duran, a man-magnet model-slash-actress-slash-deeply troubled woman, soon embark on a wild ride that ricochets from New York's East Side Hotel for Women to the comedy circuit, auditions, photo shoots, film premieres, cable TV specials, Hollywood studios, late-night TV talk shows, and beyond. Surrounded by sleazy agents, sleazier lovers, and Ursula's even sleazier mother, the two find that life writes a few punch lines they weren't expecting...but through it all, they somehow manage to have the last laugh. Rita Rudner has crafted a debut novel that is not just funny, but moving and insightful. With its insider's viewpoint of the world of stand-up comedy, Tickled Pink is also, at its core, a touching tale of love, loss, female friendship, and forgiveness. Review: Library Journal In her first novel, what could be a thinly veiled autobiographical look at Rudner's discovery of her own comedic outlook is embodied in the friendship between dancer-turned-stand-up comedian Mindy Solomon and model-turned-actress Ursula Duran. It takes the author a while to find the right level of character development versus the delivery of clever lines, but the story gets stronger as the friendship is tested by career moves and male companions; the two main figures are well supported by memorable minor roles and an insider's view of the stepladder system in comedy clubs. The book as read by Rudner herself resonates with her specific comedic style and pacing, often to a listener's detriment as the recording goes from near whisper to shouting, depending on the punchline. A nice diversion for primarily female audiences.-Joyce Kessel, Villa Maria Coll., Buffalo, NY Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.
