The Emmy Award-winning stand-up comic—dubbed a “pathological sweetheart” by the\u003cem\u003e New York Observer\u003c\/em\u003e—is known throughout the industry as one of comedy’s true “nice guys.” Not surprisingly, he’s endured his share of last-place finishes. But he keeps on bouncing back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this collection of hilarious and poignant essays (including his acclaimed \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e piece “What if I Bombed at My Own Wedding?”), Josh celebrates a life of good intentions—and mixed results.
