Republican Standup: Ayn Rand (Short Story)

By Stefano Boscutti

Maybe it’s the economy?

Or the alimony payments? Or the hikes in health care premiums? Or the chipped coffee mug in the green room?

Whatever it is, Richard Charmer hasn’t been feeling his usual jovial self lately. And that’s not good for business when you’re a Republican standup comedian.

“Republican Standup: Ayn Rand” is an incisive political story. Ever wonder what happens when you start to question what you stand for?

When you start to question your beliefs?
