"A self-deprecating book filled with funny anecdotes about his family and famous friends. . . . Short is by turns philosophical and endearingly goofy." -- USA Today"Very entertaining, lovely new memoir. I read it and wished I had read it again. It is nothing but delightful." -- David Magee, screenwriter of Life of Pi and Finding Neverland"I read it back to front and was surprised by its shocking beginning." -- Steve Martin"I love this book...If you love comedy, you have to read this book. I don't want it to end...every chapter is so fun and interesting and great." -- Jimmy Fallon"Martin Short is a comedy superhero and this book is a peek inside his Fortress of Solitude." -- Amy Poehler"As long as I've known him I've tried to figure out what makes Marty tick. Now I have to read this book to find out? What a rotten Canadian trick!" -- Tom Hanks"What a wonderful book! If only it was about someone else." -- Larry David"This book, like Marty's life, is a nutty-mahvelous affair." -- Paul Shaffer"A true vaudevillian, Short is always on as he delivers funny anecdotes from a diffuse and storied career." -- Kirkus Reviews"Short's memoir is filled with all sorts of lovely anecdotes about...eccentric and endlessly interesting people." -- New York Magazine"I loved the book. I loved everything in it." -- Rosie O'Donnell"An engaging, often quite funny, story of a man's life, with all of its highs and lows." -- Booklist"Short's endearing memoir is, of course, funny, but it's also a rare thing: the tale of a genuine human being who's thrived on planet Hollywood." -- Washington Post"Short's delightful memoir more than proves that he is a very funny comedian." -- Publishers Weekly"This book is a wonderful combination of the very funny and the very poignant." -- Matt Lauer
