Critics Review
An uproariously funny collection of true stories from one of the comedy greats * Bill Bailey *It’s rare for comedians to be as funny on paper as they are on stage, but Rich Hall nails it. He is clearly a writer at heart, and his true tales about life on the stand-up comedy circuit are hilarious, touching, and bravely personal. I selfishly wish he had his own TV show here in the States, but this book will fill the void nicely until he does * Carl Hiaasen *I loved this book. Absolutely adored it. I devoured it and savoured every word. A wild and wonderful love letter to comedy * Adam Hills *Rich Hall is a comedic maverick with a laser eye for detail. He is as funny as he is fearless. This book is no exception… a kaleidoscopic journey through the twists and turns of his comedy and his life. * Lewis Black *So well written… Buy it right now and prepare to be amazed. * Merrill Markoe *Since 1978, Rich Hall has made me laugh with a most original and creative brand of stand-up comedy. Now the bastard has written the best comedy memoir I’ve ever read. I’ve about had it with this guy. * Ritch Shydner *Hall is good company… writing with wise-cracking, conversational ease… Will have you chuckling throughout with its amusing collection of well-spun yarns * Irish Times *
