An immersive, page-turning novel about surviving as a funny woman in the male-dominated world of comedy--and what happens when the most promising female star of her generation disappears.
"An utterly addictive read."--Amy Tintera, New York Times bestselling author of Listen for the Lie
In the 1980s, women were not supposed to be funny. But when a group of college improv comedians gets the chance to join a new late-night show, it's Lillian Martin who stands out. The new show was called The Midnight Show and it would air every Friday night, live from New York, and change the landscape of TV and comedy forever.
But first it would change Lillian's and her friends' lives. When the show becomes a runaway hit, the cast is thrown into the spotlight. Suddenly, they're skipping the line at the city's hottest clubs and posing on the cover of Rolling Stone. Lillian, in particular, seems destined for bigger things--until one winter night in Lower Manhattan, she vanishes, leaving nothing behind but questions. Was Lillian a victim of her own excesses? Was it a mugging gone wrong? Or could she have been killed by someone in her own inner circle?
Forty years later, Lillian's disappearance has still never been solved. But when a budding journalist looking to examine Lillian's story from a modern lens begins asking questions, she stirs up decades-old drama--as well as tightly-held secrets some comedy legends would much rather stay buried.
A propulsive story of fame and friendship told through a variety of media--compiled interviews, articles, transcripts--The Midnight Show takes readers behind the scenes of the cutthroat world of comedy in 1980s New York and asks if the rush of getting a laugh is all it's cracked up to be.
