ISBN: 9798175552851 - cold open club (6 risultati)

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A failing comedy club. A robot that tells bad jokes. And the night they changed each other's lives. When Zac, a broke comedian with seven months of material and zero laughs, walks into the Cold Open Club for an open mic, he expects another disaster. What he finds is Rocky, an aging owner with a thermos full of water and a club that's been dying for thirty years. And then Rocky buys PAL-9000 - an AI robot with 4,000 jokes in its memory and absolutely no sense of timing. PAL bombs on its first night. Nine jokes, zero laughs. But someone films it. And by morning, the worst stand-up set in Los Angeles has gone viral. What follows is ninety days of chaos: a streaming war, a recall order from the robot's corporate maker, a power outage in the dark, and a contest between human and machine to decide who really understands comedy. But the real story isn't about a robot learning to be funny. It's about the people who find each other in the back room of a dying club: Zac, who learns that truth beats timing; Betty, the bartender who gave up comedy twenty years ago; Emma, the engineer who built PAL and ran away; and Jenny, the developer who showed up to shut the club down and stayed to laugh. Cold Open Club is a love letter to the places that don't work - the ones that are broken, the ones that are almost closed, the ones where the drinks are watered and the sign is broken and the carpet is held together with hope and duct tape. It's about what happens when a machine learns to tell bad jokes, and why those bad jokes might be the most human thing in the room.…
