This is a fun and entertaining work. If you're familiar with his podcast or simply with his stand-up then you must get the audio version because it's him and "the gang" reading the book, adding stories and commentaries and sometimes going off script telling stories. It's mostly an autobiography, with added stories about his mother and some gossip and trash-talking.
Stanhope has never been a mainstream comedian, and this book is no different from his act. Nevertheless, I think this book is much more polished than anything he has done, so I'm glad that after all that booze and drugs he hasn't lost his edge.
