Getting his charges dropped after making the public defender and the judge laugh, performing an hour of jokes for his cell mates in the drunk tank, the comedian has used his sense of humor to get in and out of trouble, and that same sense of humor makes this a fun and engaging read.Storytelling comedian Keith Lowell Jensen has performed all over the world, including headlining the First International China Comedy Festival in Shanghai. He has recorded 8 comedy specials, including his latest Not For Rehire. This is his second memoir collection following 2018’s Punching Nazis And Other Good Ideas.

"Hilarious. A demented masterpiece."— The Washington Post on "Atheist Christmas""You're gonna love Jensen's style of subtle, smart storytelling"— Austin Chronicle“Lowell's subtle humor shines through his meandering storytelling style. And at the same time, he reminds us that the streak of emboldened racist groups in our current political climate isn't new—punks have been punching Nazis for decades.”—East Bay Express, “Your Summer Reading List”“[Punching Nazis] is a unique portal into America’s white supremacy problem, specifically the country’s short-term memory, and it’s done with a lot of humor.”—Sacramento News and Review
