Description
"Tart, sassy, and hilariously funny from start to finish, Rainbow’s book offers laughter as a tonic for troubled times." — Kirkus Reviews
A new essay collection by adored comedian and New York Times bestseller Randy Rainbow
Randy Rainbow has a few things on his mind that he wants to talk about. As a savvy social commentator tuned into the public discourse, his unfailing intuition tells him that the perspective everyone in America is clamoring for is that of a privileged white male complaining about a bunch of shit. While writing his New York Times bestseller Playing With Myself, Randy saw an America in crisis. He knew that what the country needed to get back on its high heels was a hard-hitting gay agenda and here it is - Low Hanging Fruit - a book filled with sparkling whines, a few flutes of champagne problems and a Birkin bag of the most pressing issues facing the US, from dancing TikTok grandmas, to Elon Musk, the GOP, and Donald Jessica Trump.
On the down low, Randy dishes up some sex talk about life on the dating apps, Craigslist hookups and more. (“Gurl, wait till you hear the story about the fireman and the goggles...”) Randy’s longtime companion, the glamorous Chinchilla Silver Persian cat Tippi, makes an appearance as she dishes about her life Chez Randy. And, in the most highly anticipated sequel since Top Gun: Maverick, Randy continues the conversation with his mother, Gwen, because who knows better than the Jewish mother of a gay man about how to solve America’s problems? Randy Rainbow’s Low Hanging Fruit – a bold manifesto for a nation desperately in need of a makeover.

Randy Rainbow is a national treasure. He’s kept us laughing through Trump, through Covid and through MAGA. I had his duet with Patti LuPone on repeat for weeks; it made me feel so much better in the waning days of the 2020 election. I received this book yesterday and eagerly slurped it down in less than 24 hours.
Although this isn’t a book about politics, I note that it will be released a month before the 2024 elections, which will either provide some much needed comic relief or, if things continue the way they’ve been going lately, feel hopelessly out of date amid the growing angst that is America. After so many political music parodies, though, I found it great fun to read about Randy’s private life, his cat, his mom, and his eternal hatred of airport greeters. As a cis het senior, I probably could have done with less detail in the some of the sexy parts, but, hey, when you want to hear about a comedian’s life, you get what you get. And his revelations were honest and open.
Many thanks to St. Martin’s Press, NetGalley and Randy Rainbow for the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.
