Game On
Writer and comedian Mike Drucker (The Tonight Show; Full Frontal with Samantha Bee) returns to The Writers Panel to discusses his new memoir, Good Game, No Rematch, writing his life through the lens of video games, how prose is different from stand up comedy, how his family responded to stories about them, discovering his emotional vulnerabilities, and more.

Thank you, this was great! I've been thinking a lot about memoir, fiction, and the fictionalized self lately and the stand up comedy angle of the craft was really interesting.
