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
