Kirkus Reviews
"Langston packs a lot into this quick-moving novella. Her portrait of Paige and how she copes with her fears, her friends, her family, a possible boyfriend, and especially Brooke comes across well. Paige's performances hold readers fast as the contest gets underway. It's a brief but effective foray into a branch of the performing arts not often covered. An entertaining and effective glimpse into stand-up."
VOYA Magazine
“Langston takes the reader realistically through every nerve-wracking step: in the hotel, backstage, and through three performances at the mic.”
Booklist
"This entertaining and inspiring story will appeal to anyone who feels like they don’t fit in. Paige is a genuinely funny character and a winner that readers will root for."
School Library Connection
"Readers will be rooting for Paige as she competes...recommended."
