If there is one trait that makes someone well suited to comedy, it is being able to take a punch—metaphorically and, occasionally, physically. From growing up in a family of firefighters on Staten Island to commuting three hours a day to high school, and attending Harvard while Facebook was created, Colin Jost shares how he has navigated the world like a slightly smarter Forrest Gump. Readers will discover surprising and confusing anecdotes, from how Jimmy Buffett saved his life and getting attacked by Czech teenagers with potato salad, to competing in a twenty-five-man match at WrestleMania. Jost also takes fans behind the scenes at \u003cem\u003eSNL\u003c\/em\u003e and shares the grueling realities of being a touring stand-up comedian. Balanced with honest, emotional moments—such as recounting his mother's experience as a first responder on 9\/11—\u003cem\u003eA Very Punchable Face\u003c\/em\u003e reveals the brilliant mind and hardworking heart behind the humor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eTarget Audience \u0026amp; Reader Targeting\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003ePerfect for fans of stand-up comedy, \u003cem\u003eSaturday Night Live\u003c\/em\u003e, and humorous celebrity memoirs.
