Jamie Grimm is a middle schooler who has learned to deal with the sorrow in his life by telling jokes. Then he hears about a contest for kid comedians. Should he enter? I enjoyed the books and the humor definitely made me laugh. However, the plot introduced several potential conflicts only to drop them without any development at all.

Funny, but filthy
I've never heard of Greg Davies before. I have been enjoying British comedians from Netflix specials so I thought I'd give it a go.

It is pretty funny if at times so filthy that it's hard to get really into it. To jokes about his mother's sexual experiences to a furry sight gag, the subject matter is pretty raunchy.

Granted he does have a couple decent attempts at positive motivational moments.

Generally speaking I lughed, but not a lot.
  
I was so happy to read Martin Shorts story. But his story was definitely not as happy as I assumed it was. Why are comedians always so troubled??

Not that this makes it a depressing read, it's extremely interesting, very funny at times, and I learned a lot about Martin and Hollywood as well!

So glad to still have great comedic minds like Mr. Short alive and well and making us laugh. A very interesting bio well worth the read.
