A collection of hilarious and absurd epiphanies in the legendary comedian's life, delivered in his unique deadpan style. Rich Hall, who initially aspired to be a writer and trained as a journalist, found his true calling after a failed one-man show at a Kansas university, where he tried to impress a girl with just a bucket, a loudhailer, and dog biscuits. This book features true stories from Hall's professional and personal life, focusing on moments where he really had to nail it. These tales don't revolve around glitz or fame; instead, they recount mishaps like accidentally melting Kraft cheese at his first Edinburgh Fringe Festival, alienating RV holiday-makers in Las Vegas, and transforming a charity gig into a legendary rock 'n' roll disaster while singing The Who's "You Better You Bet." Hall's attempts to woo Karen, who is now his wife, also feature prominently. While he doesn't always emerge unscathed, these escapades showcase his comedic journey. If you propped him up at the comedy bar with a 50p coin, these are the tunes he would spin, ensuring you'd be laughing all night.
