Ever wonder what goes on in the life of a factory worker? After 18 years of working in a field that I had no intention of toiling in, I have decided it is time to share my experiences with others. I am coming to the table to share tales that are too rich to be simply forgotten. If you are looking to be impressed with superb plots and subplots, you won't find it here. I'm simply telling stories that are conjured up from my years of experience wearing a blue collar.

Left by their frightened mother and ill-treated by a brutal father, Norman and his brother were forced to fend for themselves, sleeping rough in London and stealing food to survive. This is a rags to riches tale of the man Charlie Chaplin said would take his mantle and who went on to make millions laugh around the world for over five decades.

Tutto comincia ad Asti, al numero 33 di corso Torino: è lì che nasce, "bambino fatto in casa", Giorgio Faletti. Sono passati 62 anni, che lui ha impiegato facendo il comico, il musicista, l'attore, il pittore, e naturalmente lo scrittore. Scorrendo l'elenco delle sue imprese (e parliamo solo di quelle professionali) sembra che Giorgio Faletti abbia vissuto mille vite. Di sicuro, scopriamo leggendo il suo nuovo libro, ne ha vissute due: "Quando" e "Ora" sono le prime due sezioni che compongono questa autobiografia fatta di musica e parole.

How Comedy Saved My Life is the brutally honest, darkly funny, and ultimately redemptive story of John Perrotta—a Rhode Island prison guard by day, stand-up comic by night. For decades, John lived two lives. On stage, he was a relentless crowd-work master, booking gigs with rising legends like Bill Burr, Lenny Clarke, Tammy Pescatelli, and Tom Cotter. Off stage, he was drowning in booze, gambling, and drugs, hitting rock bottom more times than he can count—until a near-death experience forced him to make the biggest comeback of his life.

Nuns with Shotguns, Vol II of THE WORLD IS MY ASHTRAY, picks up where Pepperoni, Jalapeños & LSD left off. Paul and Lonnie disappear into a Rocky Mountain ghost town to decompress from a manic year in Boulder, Colorado. The town of Eldora is spectacular, serene, virtually uninhabited. Perhaps a hundred hermits are scattered throughout the mountain valley, cleaning their guns and guarding their bongs. Now twenty years old and even more determined to write his way to financial freedom, Paul hunkers down at his typewriter in his new, idyllic setting and begins banging out his first novel.

Marks mormor tyckte inte om erotik. Hon krävde av morfar att lampan skulle vara släckt. Och sen sprang hon och gömde sig. Gud så Marks morfar svor, där han jagade henne i mörkret. Trots att han varit med i båda världskrigen svor han på att en ryss i en vallgrav inte är något mot en mormor bakom en chiffonjé. Den 25 augusti utkommer Och jag läste att det var omöjligt att leva lycklig förutan dig. Där resonerar Mark Levengood kring ensamhet och samhörighet, hur vi som människor kan hitta fram till varandra bakom möbler eller andra hinder.

Ger dig svar på livets stora gåtor, som till exempel hur man mår om man mölar i sig ett kilo kött och en liten, liten bit majskolv, och vad man ska göra om man känner att man måste smygoperera sin man inne i huvudet. Om hur det var att vara mamma på neandertaltiden och hur man känner sig när man strippar framför självaste prins Daniel

I Hjärtat får inga rynkor vecklas Marks universum ut, en värld där kinesiska Elvisimitatörer skimrar i kapp med Danmarks drottning, där Körskoleläraren Som Gud Glömde samsas med Jesus i Orlando (som Gud helst skulle vilja glömma). Här möter vi nya vårar som blommar i krematoriets park och grannens otäta hund som blir misstänkt för att vara en vandrande njure klädd i päls. Hjärtat får inga rynkor lär oss varför det är vådligt att tolka folk i form av blombuketter samt faran av att stå på huvudet om man inte bär trosor.

I denna volym finner läsaren texter som tål att återvändas till, ofta och gärna.

Hemma hos Martina handlar om hur Martina försöker få livet att gå ihop med tre barn, en miljard katter och Sveriges stökigaste man som bara snor ens strumpor hela tiden och en skådespelarkarriär vars höjdpunkter mest verkar bestå av provfilmningar för finskt diskmedel. Den handlar också om hur man försöker överleva trots att man lider av en ofantlig brist på glamour när man är gravid i tionde månaden och ser ut som Lennart Swahn (fast med hårspännen).

Varför hörs någon vråla SÅÅÅ HÄÄÄR HAAAR INTEEE MARIIIAAAANNE FREDRIKSSOOON DEEEEEET i det lilla vita huset i Bromma? Hur kommer det sig att Björn Skifs har blivit yngre än Martina Haag? Och varför ser hon ut som en smurf i pösbyxor? Och vad gör hon egentligen, instängd i en hiss med Viggo Mortensen på en lyxig björnfäll? Varför piper, mjauar och brölar det ur frysen i källaren? Och kommer verkligen Hans Blix att kunna reda ut bråken hemma hos familjen Haag?

Ten years ago, when Chris Duffy was an exhausted fifth grade teacher, he taught the funniest person he's ever met: 11-year-old Gary C. Gary was the school newspaper's official food critic, blasting cafeteria pizza for looking like cardboard and alleging that the baked beans weren't "beany" enough. These days, Duffy is a comedian and the host of a podcast with millions of listeners, but he's never forgotten the joy of laughing with Gary during that bleak Boston winter. Gary taught him that a life without a sense of humor isn't much of a life at all.
