"The three years I spent in prison taught me to hate. Fork fights and throat punches were my pastimes. But that's how it goes when you've raised yourself on spite and envy. OK, that wasn't me. Not all comedians come from a dark place. . . . " In this hilarious memoir, Jessica Holmes, a fan favourite on the hit shows "The Holmes Show" and "Royal Canadian Air Farce," offers her witty observations on everything from her eclectic upbringing by a right-wing, Mormon father and a feminist mother, to her experiences as a missionary in Venezuela, to her own trial-and-error adventures in childrearing. Delving into personal experiences never discussed before, Holmes reveals her struggle to find laughter off-stage and spins comedy gold from her fumbles. The combination makes for an inspirational, heartwarming, and thoroughly side-splitting treat. "From the Hardcover edition."
