Welcome to Whiskey Neat. It's Wednesday Night at this trending performance bar in midtown Manhattan. And that means it's time to pour a favored libation and prepare yourself for a night of contemporary, stand-up comedy that targets and ridicules religion. Uh-oh. You're part of the act, Reader. An extra on the set. So come on it. Make new friends. And get to know... ...Edward Prince. He tried to make it as a high school science teacher. But he couldn't control his tendency toward political incorrectness. Nor did he care to. Edward is much happier now. On stage. Practicing free speech. Saying whatever he wants. Ridiculing our most sacred institutions. And falling in love with... ... Abeela Mahtam. A reformed Muslim who writes a magazine column about the plight of women and girls around the world who live under the yoke of Islam. This brave pretty little Muslim chick is about to be seduced into drinking from the tree of whiskey by... ...the narrator? Yup. Meet Narrator. After an awkward and bumpy start in his original assignment, Narrator has been reassigned to Whiskey Neat. Somewhat of a rebel and a lout, he cannot resist the whiskey. He cannot resist involving himself in the story. And he cannot resist... ...Stephanie. Our stunning transgender waitress. Serving us whiskey. Showing off those legs. And pondering the nature of reality with... ...Bartender. While waiting patiently for his moment in space-time to become a true hero, Bartender keeps the whiskey flowing. He even serves a drink to... ...Bruce Dern! The actor? Well, in a parallel universe, yeah? But here at Whiskey Neat, on this Wednesday Night, events unfold in unique fashion. Oh, come on in. Just for one drink from the tree of knowledge. Narrator is buying. What do you have to lose? Except for your sobriety. And your innocence. And your faith. And your sanity.
