And yet he's died many times. Not just on stage - though he'll tell you about that - but in other ways, too. There's been the death of a childhood dream. The death of his panel-show career. And then there was the time he died inside and nearly lost it all . . .\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEye-opening, revealing and painfully funny, this is a book about mortification, failure and all the times life doesn't work out as planned.
