Greg Fitzsimmons was the first comic to ever give me unwanted advice. I thought he was a jerk. I was wrong. Not only is he a great guy, he is also one of the best storytellers I have ever heard. I look forward to someone reading this book to me. <p> --Zach Galifianakis

"""Greg Fitzsimmons is as funny as he is f*%ed up. And he is VERY f*%ed up."" --Jimmy Kimmel ""Greg Fitzsimmons thinks he's one of the greatest comedic minds of our generation; and in the case of this book, he's right."" --Adam Carolla, comedian ""Greg Fitzsimmons was the first comic to ever give me unwanted advice. I thought he was a jerk. I was wrong. Not only is he a great guy, he is also one of the best storytellers I have ever heard. I look forward to someone reading this book to me."" --Zach Galifianakis ""I've often wondered what it was that made Greg Fitzsimmons so funny. And so filled with non-specific rage. Now I know, and you can, too."" --Andy Richter, National Treasure ""Jewish guilt is well-known because Jews are loud and free to express themselves. Catholic guilt, however, is fucking bottomless. Irish to the core, despite himself, this bottomlessness oozes from Greg Fitzsimmons' every pore and it's raw, honest, and hilarious. This portrait of one comic's life is funny, hard, and true."" --Sarah Silverman, comedienne and ""New York Times"" bestselling author of ""The Bedwetter"""
