Reviews"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, "Greg Fitzsimmons was the first comic to ever give me unwanted advice. I thought he was a jerk. I was wrong.
