Overview

A lively collection of humorous tales from a comedian’s unconventional journey to becoming a globetrotting professional drinker Fueled by curiosity—and occasionally one too many drinks—Zane Lamprey has raised glasses with people around the world, meeting them where they are most themselves—their local watering holes. In Glass Half Full, Zane takes readers back to his roots, delving into his childhood, his leap of faith moving to Hollywood, and the independent projects he hustled to create. Get a behind-the-scenes look at how he ultimately broke new ground in the travel show space with his Three Sheets and Drinking Made Easy and become inspired to drink up all the world has to offer. Brimming with Zane’s trademark charisma and optimism, Glass Half Full explores the highs and lows of navigating the entertainment industry and his unconventional path to success. It’s a celebration of taking risks, pushing boundaries, and refusing to give up, offering a relatable yet insightful reflection on perseverance and the magic of unexpected opportunities. Zane’s story is one of creativity, fearlessness, and a deep love for forging human connections—often over a shared drink. With countless ups and downs, Glass Half Full is a toast to perseverance, luck, and embracing the endless possibilities life has to offer.
