PRAISE FOR HOW TO DO (ALMOST) ANYTHING
“
It's a wonderfully light-hearted look at how to do just about anything. I was hooked from the opening page. Highly recommend!
“
Murphy's wit hit me again and again as I read through his marvelously bizarre 'how to' book! Each random yet totally engaging piece killed me with sleek metaphors and word play worthy of the most seasoned writers. Check it out. This is a must have gift for anyone in need of some levity!

I like to know a little bit about a lot of things, which is why I love this book. Not only is it informative, it’s also hilarious!

WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BECOME A PROFESSIONAL STAND-UP COMEDIAN?
You need a good sense of humor and loads of determination, of course, but mostly you just need material. Lots of lots of material. Ryan Murphy took care of that requirement early on in his life through a series of awkward encounters and spectacular failures.
Now, for the first time ever, he shares the hilarious true stories that helped thicken his skin and pave the way for a successful 15-year career as a comic. You’ll learn about his disastrous first kiss, his ill-fated foray into football, and how he spent his high school prom locked in the trunk of a car.
Told with wit and warmth, My Life’s a Joke is proof that comedy truly is tragedy plus time.
