MOTHER. WIFE. SISTER. HUMAN. WARRIOR. FALCON. YARDSTICK. TURBAN. CABBAGE
From the comedian named The Funniest Man on Twitter by Comedy Central and Rolling Stone, this is a collection of wincingly funny autobiographical essays about childhood, fatherhood, addiction, recovery, and sex, sex, sex.
Rob Delaney is the raunchiest feminist you'll ever meet. But if you're one of the 830,000 people who follow him on Twitter, you already know that. Delaney has made the 140 character tweet into a comic art form and that talent--along with the hilarious and painful sharing he does in his stand-up--has made him a white-hot comedy superstar. Tackling subjects from his youthful obssession (and pen pal relationship) with heavy metal band Danzig to drunken bungee jumping off the Brooklyn Bridge, from his court-ordered stint in rehab to witnessing the miracle of his son's birth, these essays meanderingly trace Rob's journey from middle class theater geek, to public menace, to devoted family man and passionately engaged model citizen. All together, these essays (interspersed with some of his "Greatest Tweets") make clear why it is he is so darn lovable and so f#!%ing funny. Rob is the first comedy star on twitter-- he went from 0 to 830,000 followers on Twitter in just a few years, solely by word-of-mouth. It's how we discovered him and commissioned him to write this book! In addition to being named "Funniest Person on Twitter" at the Comedy Central Comedy Awards (defeating Stephen Colbert and Steve Martin, Rob Delaney has also been named one of "The Funniest People on Twitter" by Rolling Stone (which ranked him #1), the Huffington Post, Vice magazine, Paste magazine, and Funny or Die.
