Produktbeschreibung

"McFarlane has guts, heart, jokes, and plenty of wise words in this hilarious journey through the dark heart of the entertainment industry." -Publishers Weekly It took Bonnie McFarlane a lot of time, effort, and tequila to get to where she is today. Before she starred onLast Comic Standingand directed her own films, she was an inappropriately loud tomboy growing up on her parents' farm in Cold Lake, Canada, wetting her pants during standardized tests and killing chickens. Desperate to find "her people"-like-minded souls who wouldn't judge her because she was honest, ruthless, and, okay, sometimes really rude-Bonnie turned to comedy. In her explosively funny and no-holds-barred memoir, Bonnie tells it like it is, and lays bare all of her smart (and not-so-smart) decisions along the way to finding her friends and her comedic voice. From fistfights in elementary school to riding motorcycles to the World Famous Comic Strip, toLate Night with David Letterman, and through to her infamous "c" word bit onLast Comic Standing, You're Better Than Meis her outrageous trip through the good, bad, and ugly of her life in comedy. McFarlane doesn't always keep her mouth shut when she should, but at least she makes people laugh. And that's all that matters, right? "Explores the strange, thrilling world of stand-up... [a] brutally candid memoir." -Shelf Awareness "The author writes lovingly and wittily about... negotiating her eccentric family, and developing a creative urge and darkly sardonic worldview born of isolated tedium...Consistently funny." -Kirkus Reviews
