Synopsis:
Two hilarious best friends create their very own podcast in this feel-good middle grade graphic novel about making the spotlight your own, from the bestselling author of Just Pretend.
Lights, Curtains…Podcast!
Best friends Clay and Kyle can’t help but inject fun into everything. Whether they’re goofing off backstage during a performance or making rib-tickling jokes at an open mic, these two are always ready to make people laugh! Now Clay’s hoping to shift her improv skills to the stage in her middle school’s production of Gals and Dolls, which means spending even more time with her crush, Dania. But Clay’s boisterous humor doesn’t sit well with the director, who has ZERO tolerance for fun.
Clay, however, refuses to be boring! She and Kyle are eager to bring their comedic talents into the spotlight, but school musicals are too serious, open mics are too long…
And that’s when it hits them—they should start a podcast! But with rehearsals to attend, new episodes to record, and time running out for Clay to ask a certain someone to the eighth-grade dance, will Clay and Kyle be able to do it all?

When I saw the email for Stand up which was already on my pre-orders as I thoroughly enjoyed Tori's previous Graphic Novel Just Pretend.
Stand up was an absolute joy to read I adored Kyle and Clay who even though they were Autistic and ADHD respectively they lived their lives with gusto. But Tori did not stop there she introduced LGBTQ into the mix. As usual the artwork was stunning and that is all I am saying about this Graphic Novel.
But if you decide to pick it up you will have a fab time like I did.
For all the above reasons Stand Up receives 4 Stars
