Taking its title from a group of stories that begin the book, Bream Gives Me Hiccups moves from contemporary LA to the dorm rooms of an American college to ancient Pompeii, throwing the listener into a universe of social misfits, reimagined scenes from history, and ridiculous overreactions. In one piece a tense email exchange between a young man and his girlfriend is taken over by the man's sister, who is obsessed with the Bosnian genocide ("The situation reminds me of a little historical blip called the Karadordevo agreement").

It used to be: Make good grades, get good SAT scores, write a good essay, and you were on your way to a good college. Now? Kiss that world goodbye. Merit isn’t a sure thing. Connections are everything. And money talks– a lot. Enter Kelly Pritzker (Abbi Jacobson), a shrewd, New Jersey-based college “consultant” who isn’t above faking athletic profiles, seducing administrators, greasing palms, and juicing GPAs. When it comes to getting the under-qualified and uber-privileged into the Ivy League, Kelly’s the closest thing you’ll find to a guarantee...If you can afford her, that is.

Das politische Kabarett ist angeblich tot. Benjamin Eisenberg ist quicklebendig. Sind es doch sonst die Bürger, die zur Zielscheibe der Medien, der Politik oder der Wirtschaft werden, dreht Eisenberg den Spieß um und hat in seinem stets aktuellen Solo-Programm alles: "Im Visier". Im humoristischen Fokus: Regierung, Opposition, Bundeswehreinsätze, Ministerposten und Anti-Terror-Maßnahmen - nichts wird von dem Bottroper Kabarettisten vor Ironie und Sarkasmus verschont.
