Norm Macdonald is a stand-up comedian, writer, and actor who lives in Los Angeles. He is the proud father of Devery.
"A driving, wild and hilarious ramble of a book, what might have happened had Hunter S. Thompson embedded himself in a network studio."--The Washington Post
"Dostoyevsky by way of 30 Rockefeller Center . . . the
best new book I've read this year or last."--The Wall Street
Journal "This book is absurd fiction. . . . Scathing and
funny."--The New York Times "Hilarious and filled with turns
of phrase and hidden beauty like only a collection of Norm
Macdonald stories could be."--Esquire "Raucous . . . a
hilarious, innovative work."--A.V. Club
"Part personal history and part meta riff on celebrity memoirs, the
book, it quickly becomes clear, is also just partly true (and all
hilarious)."--Vulture "My three favorite books:
1. The Bible, by Moses and other guys
2. The Art of the Deal, by President of the United States of
America, Donald J. Trump (a.k.a. President Trumpy)
3. Based on a True Story, by Norm Macdonald I have not read the
first two. I have read Based on a True Story, and I believe it to
be largely bullshit, but it is very, very, very funny! Thanks,
Norm, for letting me be part of this Booker
Prize-for-literature-quality effort."--David Letterman "Norm
is brilliant and thoughtful and there is sensitivity and creative
insight in his observations and stories. A lot of comics over the
years have been compared to Mark Twain, but I think Norm is the
only one who actually matches the guy in terms of his voice and
ability. I seriously f**king love Norm Macdonald. Please buy his
book. He probably needs the cash. He's really bad with
money."--Louis C.K., from the foreword "Norm is one of my
all-time favorites, and this book was such a great read I forgot
how lonely I was for a while."--Amy Schumer "I always
thought Normie's stand-up was the funniest thing there was. But
this book gives it a run for its money."--Adam Sandler "Norm
is one of the greatest stand-up comics who's ever worked--a totally
original voice. His sense of the ridiculous and his use of
juxtaposition in his writing make him a comic's comic. We all love
Norm."--Roseanne Barr "Norm Macdonald makes me laugh my ass
off. Who is funnier than Norm Macdonald? Nobody."--Judd
Apatow "Norm Macdonald is more than a triple threat--he's a
septuple threat. He is smart, funny, wry, rakish, polite, rakish .
. . no, wait. He is polite, insightful, and . . . aaaaah . . .
warm. No. He's exciting. Yeah. Exciting! You never know what he'll
do. Okay, then make that unpredictable. Add that up. He's
amazing."--Alec Baldwin "Norm only has to grunt to make me
laugh. And this book is three hundred pages? Sign me
up."--Sophia Amoruso, author of #GIRLBOSS "Norm is a double
threat. His material and timing are both top-notch, which is
unheard of. He is one of my favorites, both on- and
off-stage."--Dave Attell "David Letterman said it best:
There is no one funnier than Norm Macdonald."--Rob
Schneider
