Stand-up comedian, writer (Marvel’s Deadpool), and actor (The Sarah Silverman Show, Mr. Show) Brian Posehn sold a humorous memoir to Ben Schafer at Da Capo Press. Schafer took world rights from Marc Gerald at United Talent Agency, working on behalf of Dave Rath at Generate. In Forever Nerdy! Or How a Man-Child Lived His Dreams and Stayed Nerdy and Metal, Posehn recounts what the publisher described as “hilarious stories of eternal nerd-dom,” chronicling what it was like coming of age as a nerd before it was considered hip to be one. The book is slated for spring 2018.
Posehn’s credits stretch far and wide across all entertainment mediums. On television appearances include Uncle Grandpa, Lady Dynamite, W/ Bob and David, New Girl, and The Sarah Silverman Program. His film credits boast Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer, Surf’s Up, The Devil’s Rejects, and Sex Drive. He’s written for Anger Management, Metalocalypse, Pretend Time, and Human Giant. Posehn has produced Uncle Nick as well as The Man Show. He’s also recorded music Scott Ian of Anthrax, Joey Vera of Armored Saint, and John Tempesta of The Cult. And if that wasn’t enough, he hosts a podcast called Nerd Poker which you can check out here.
