Who's Publishing What: Point of Pines

Unlike Steve Bluestein's other books, Memoir of a Nobody and Take My Prostate…Please, Point of Pines has no comedy in it.

It’s a tribute to a group of people who saved Steve’s childhood. From homelessness to physical and emotional abuse, Steve tells a story that gives us hope and asks us to be kind to each other.

A stand-up comedian, sitcom writer, playwright and author, Steve honed his comedic talent in years of pounding the boards in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, Reno, Tahoe and countless comedy clubs across the nation. Born in Boston, his heart was always in New York, where he moved directly after graduating from Emerson College. It was there he first went to Bud Friedman's Improv and got bitten by the comedy bug.

Moving to Los Angeles, he immediately became one of the Comedy Store regulars and was a member of the Comedy Store Players as well as a founding member of The Groundlings Theater. It was there, at the Groundlings, he learned the improvisational skills he uses in his stand-up act.
