Lutz van der Horst

A struggling comedian searches for love—and accidentally finds himself
Comedian Lutz van der Horst has written his first novel: funny, tragicomic, and, incidentally, full of wisdom: “For me, it’s a perfect book!” Oliver Kalkofe

Max, in his late 20s and a comedy writer, finds himself at the start of a meteoric career: He’s the host of his own show—at least three times. Then he learns from a TV guide that the show has been canceled again. The handsome guy from the club—supposedly the new love of his life—wants nothing more to do with him either. And doesn’t Max actually want his ex-girlfriend back anyway?

His path to the big stage and to true love is paved with social blunders, awkward silences after a joke, heartbreak, and disappointments—and the question of whether there can be a happy ending for Max after all, or if his life will remain the least funny show in the world forever.
