An uproarious and lacerating meditation on life--and death--by celebrated comedian and actor Denis Leary.

Based on the writer-performer's hit Off-Broadway show, this rapid-fire monologue sends up society and its ills--disease, drugs, crime, junk culture, the recovery movement, pious political correctness, urban life, and above all, our fear of mortality--with wicked satire and insight.

"High-octane comedy . . . terribly, angrily funny."--The New York Times

"Absolutely brilliant . . . the real cutting edge of American comedy."--The Boston Globe

Denis Leary is a five-time loser at the Emmy awards. And the Golden Globes. He has lost in both the drama and comedy categories. In leading and supporting roles. Not to mention writing. Leary hopes to one day be nominated for--and more than likely not win--an Oscar, a Grammy, and a Tony Award. His first literary foray Why We Suck: A Feel Good Guide to Staying Fat, Loud, Lazy and Stupid was a New York Times bestseller, but not nominated for The National Book Award. In his long and storied entertainment career, Leary has also never won The Stanley Cup, The Nobel Peace Prize, or an argument with his wife.
