About this audiobook
Waiting for Death to Claim Us follows America's dogged stand-up scion Sam Tallent (WTF w/Marc Maron, Joe Rogan Experience, author of the runaway literary success Running the Light) through 13 different venues across the US from sold-out theaters to house parties and rib-joints, all the while COVID barrels down on the nation in early 2020. This is the last comedy special filmed before the country went into lockdown.
