Not Funny is a collection of essays by comedian and writer Jena Friedman on life, comedy, culture and politics. Friedman draws on her career writing for late-night television, including The Daily Show and Late Show with David Letterman, and on making dark political satire such as her series Soft Focus. The essays take on sexism in comedy, true crime, abortion rights, social media and the limits of humour, mixing personal stories with argument.
