Jordan Klepper's
Suffering Fools captures the pain and foolishness of our current moment, told
through personal stories from Jordan’s time on the road — Presidential run-ins,
entertainment world failures, and the lovely insurrectionists one meets on the
path to anarchy.
With his unique wit and
candor, Jordan delves into our universal desires and exposes our collective
idiocies. What a foolish time to be alive.
