I contenuti

Michael Showalter's brainy, hysterical first book combines funny anecdotes, stories, jokes, humor pieces, observations, lists, graphic elements and personal memoir into a remarkably cohesive narrative. This book will be an adventurous journey into the deep (and not-so-deep) recesses of his creative mind. The end result is a new sort of comic memoir, with the ultimate goal to entertain and on a deeper level, to tell Showalter's story: his obsessions - creative and otherwise - his successes and his many failings. Reminiscent of works by David Sedaris, Nick Hornby and Dave Eggers, as well as the straightforward, just-for-laughs style of Woody Allen and The Onion, MR. FUNNY PANTS will bring insight to both the cult followers of his tv shows and those just discovering Showalter's odd charm.

L'Autore

Showalter was born in Princeton, NJ. His mother is Elaine Showalter-the highly esteemed author, literary critic and professor. At NYU he joined an improv troupe known as The New Group. They changed their name to The State and began creating video shorts for an MTV show called You Wrote It, You Watch It, hosted by Jon Stewart. The State was then picked up as its own show, which aired for two years on MTV.
