From master comedian Mark Schiff, a long-time touring partner of Jerry Seinfeld, comes a hilarious&160;account of decades of foolery with comedy&160;and acting&160;legends and how he honed his mensch skills in all of life's arenas.&10;Pursuing a career in comedy has always taken a lot of chutzpah. Today Mark Schiff looks back at his fifty-year career as a stand-up comic, actor, and writer and knows he&8217;s laughed with the best of them. His comedy and character have been widely praised by everyone from Jerry Seinfeld to Bill Maher, Paul Reiser, and Colin Quinn-as Seinfeld writes in his foreword, Mark is "the greatest comedy pal a guy could ever wish for"&8212;but it hasn&8217;t always been easy.&10;In this brilliantly honest collection of essays inducing both heart tugs and deep belly laughs, Mark recounts growing up Jewish in the outer boroughs of New York City&160;and shares how&160;he survived a harrowing childhood and&160;managed health crises, aging, marriage, parenting, and career highs and lows.
