I Am the Chimney’s Agent, and Frankly My Client Deserves Better

A fictional talent rep makes his pitch.

The client.

My client did not ask for fame. Fame leaned on him. Every tourist wants a “holding it up” photo; every pigeon wants a seat. Yet does anyone offer him a podcast? They do not. Also, to be clear: the people who had to leave their homes are the real stars this week, and my client says they should have the dressing room.

The real story: Satirical opinion.
