Low Hanging Fruit will be accompanied by a new audiobook, also narrated by Rainbow. It is sure to bring the humorous flare that is on display in the performer's viral political parody videos. It follows his first book, Playing With Myself, which chronicles "the highs, the lows, the lipstick, the pink glasses, and the show tunes."
