Blechman, aspiring comedian, makes a deal with his downstairs neighbor Lou Pearlstein, a former vaudevillian....The special relationship developed between Andrew and Mr. Pearlstein is especially heartwarming and satisfying. Jokes intertwined in a fictional story with lots of love and affection is sure to be a hit."
