SOLVED. Teen book where a boy tries to make a good comedy routine for a talent show [s]

[Dylan]

In this book a kid who is obsessed with comedy tries to make a really good comedy routine for the talent show. His routine revolves around his last name, which can sound like spoon, and his head that he shaved just for the routine.
I believe this book was intended for teens and i read it in either 2012 or 2013.

Did it seem new or old at the time? (Based on cover art, slang, clothing worn, etc.)

Remember the cover?

Author male or female?

[Dylan]

It seemed somewhat old, i believe i got it from the library

[Dylan]

Also the author was male, and the cover had the main character with a microphone in front of him.
