There are some laughs in this memoir, but the whole endeavor feels obligatory. All the signposts of the typical comedic memoir are here - precocious childhood, awkward teenage years, followed by grinding it out on the stand-up circuit. More stories about that scene would have added more meat to this limp broth. In his comedy he is fearless, but here he is like a meaner version of Paul Reiser.
