Mike Player's new book, Out on the Edge: America's Rebel Comics, is a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the experiences of gay comedians, and Player is the ideal chronicler — his prestigious career has included performing improv, writing sketch comedies, and founding the LA-based Gay Mafia and Outlaugh!, a queer comedy festival. The billing hints at additional mystery comics/guests, with the hilarious, insightful Player at the helm.
