With her just-right combination of sensitivity, vulnerability, and hilarity, comedian and podcaster Alicia Tobin has won fans among the biggest names in contemporary comedy, from Paul F. Tompkins to Rob Delaney. In her prose debut, the host of Retail Nightmares and Super! Sick! Podcast! takes readers through the funniest parts of sadness and the saddest parts of funniness. This frank, tender, and hilarious collection gives one of the brightest (and darkest) lights of North American live comedy room to flourish on the page, and the results are unforgettable.
"In this debut collection of essays, comedian Tobin paints the Canada of her upbringing and adulthood in vivid color. She brings light to darkness by writing about the most tender spots of her existence - breakups, her parents' separation, eviction, and grief - with great humility and sharp wit ... With this collection, a bright light of the stand-up comedy realm proves herself equally luminous on the page." --Booklist

"Alicia Tobin has always been funny, brilliant, silly, sharp, surprising, and kind. Now she is all of those things but written down. I am thrilled about this book." --Paul F. Tompkins

"Whether rescuing injured pigeons, hijacking a Macho Man competition (with cheese slices, no less) or exposing the often brutal world of stand-up comedy and the class distinctions that lie between rolled ham and carrot sticks, Alicia Tobin is funny, sad, smart, and endearing. She is also fearless, frank, vulnerable, completely original, and did I mention funny? The world needs more Tobin!" --Will Ferguson, three-time winner of the Leacock Medal for Humour
