The Rejection Show
Hosted by Jon Friedman

The Rejection Show is a comedic based event that embraces the rejected and "turned down" material of writers, comedians, cartoonists, artists, and other artistic types whom display their creative and personal "failures" live on stage. It is a hilarious compilation of rejected material (personal and professional) and the stories that go with them.

The Rejection Show book, Rejected: Tales of the Failed Dumped and Canceled is in stores now! Featured on The Today Show, The Dennis Miller Show, Oprah Magazine, The Sound of Young America and more!

Hooray for failure!

REJECTION SHOW PRESS QUOTES

"On the surface, The Rejection Show is a mere demonstration of unsuccessful work by usually successful comedians, writers, filmmakers, and cartoonists. Deep down, though, it provides an interesting look into the thought processes of magazine editors, network executives, and others who wield power." –THE ONION

For most people, rejection means a bottle of Jack and a pint of Ben & Jerry's. But for one comedic genius, rejection has meant a cult hit show, national recognition, and now --a book deal? "Rejected" author Jon Friedman first gave life to The Rejection Show after he found himself passed over for a job at Comedy Central and, worse, dumped. Since then the invariably hilarious lineup of rejected New Yorker comics, Late Show sketches, and dismissive childhood sweethearts has featured a variety of New York personalities. Check out the failures and the mayhem if you are sucker for bloopers and outtakes, or just revel in others' disappointments. -NEW YORK MAGAZINE
