(New York, NY – July 29, 2020) – It was announced today that Randy Rainbow, America’s favorite topical satirist, will publish a memoir entitled PLAYING WITH MYSELF with St. Martin’s Press. SMP Executive Editor Michael Flamini acquired North American rights from CAA. Publication is planned for late 2021.
Randy Rainbow is a two-time (2019 and 2020) EMMY® nominated American comedian, producer, actor, singer, writer and satirist best known for his popular web series, The Randy Rainbow Show. He was recently named one of the “100 Reasons to Love America” by People Magazine. In PLAYING WITH MYSELF, Randy gives readers a look at the world through his signature pink glasses.
“There’s so much fake news out there about me -- lies and propaganda!” states Randy. “I can’t wait to set the record straight and finally give people a peak behind the green screen.”
In PLAYING WITH MYSELF, Randy will take readers through his life: from his childhood as the over- imaginative, often misunderstood son of a Donald Trump clone and the only boy in second grade carrying a purse, to his first job on Broadway…at Hooters (don’t ask), to the creation of his trademark comedy style which skewers the politicos of the day. Randy Rainbow will tell all in PLAYING WITH
MYSELF, the memoir that dares to ask the question, “Can an introverted musical theatre nerd with only a MacBook and a dream save the world, one show tune at a time?”
