Critics Review
-
“It is clever, hip, and hilarious…Told with the humor and general smart-ass wit associated with the Firesign Theatre.”
Counterpunch
-
“I met Phil Proctor when I was just a small, feral child living in the woods on grubs and berries. He took me in, raised me as his own, and taught me how to be funny. The fact that my entire childhood was omitted from Phil’s otherwise complete and compelling memoir is disconcerting to say the least, but it’s still a fascinating read, I guess.”
“Weird Al” Yankovic, Grammy Award–winning comedian and singer
-
“I used to hitchhike around the country, following Proctor and Bergman to see their shows. Phil finally took a liking to me and gave me important advice about showbiz that still serves me today. That advice is sprinkled through this book. Read it.”
Penn Jillette, magician and entertainer
