Book Description

November 2, 2010
"The most popular standup comic in the US." -Time

His YouTube videos have been viewed more than 400 million times by fans all over the world. He has played to sold-out venues across North America, Europe, South Africa and Australia. He has sold more than six million DVDs, Forbes has ranked him in their Celebrity 100 list of most powerful entertainers for two years running, and he has been the top touring comedian in the United States for the last two years. Whether he's breathing life into an old curmudgeon, an over- caffeinated purple maniac, or a screaming, skeletal, dead terrorist, Jeff Dunham is the straight man to some of the funniest partners in show business.

All by My Selves is the story of one pretty ordinary guy, one interesting hobby, one very understanding set of parents, and a long and winding rode to becoming America's favorite comedian. With wit, honesty, and lots of great show business detail, Jeff shares all the major moments in his journey. From the toy dummy he spotted at a toy store when he was 8 years old to playing to arenas filled with screaming fans, Jeff takes readers behind the curtain to explain how he turned an old fashioned art form into something truly modern and hip. Best of all, Jeff's story is accompanied by asides and interruptions from his characters-who share all the hilarious details Jeff himself is too embarrassed to include.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Dunham is the most successful comedian working in America."
-New York Times Magazine

"In the last few years, Jeff Dunham has become something akin to a rock star. For the first time since the heyday of Edgar Bergen and his dummy Charlie McCarthy and "The Ed Sullivan Show," nearly a half century ago, ventriloquism has moved back into the entertainment mainstream, and Dunham is leading the way."
-The Los Angeles Times

"The country''s most popular stand-up comedian."
-Salon.com

"Easily one of the funniest stand-up comics alive."
-Dallas Morning News

"One of the most popular acts in the country"
-The Boston Globe

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book by Jeff!, November 3, 2010
This review is from: All By My Selves: Walter, Peanut, Achmed, and Me (Hardcover)
I've been a Dunham fan for a long time, but this book taught me SO much about him that I didn't even know! Loved all of the stories from his childhood and his early days on the stand up circuit. Jeff has worked really hard for his success and it's great to root for him!

4.0 out of 5 stars Funny, Informative, Emotional, Interesting - A Great Read!, November 3, 2010
This review is from: All By My Selves: Walter, Peanut, Achmed, and Me (Hardcover)
Got the book yesterday and already done! I've been enjoying Jeff and his characters for a while now. Not as long as he's been performing, heck he's been touring clubs since the 80s, but I've seen most of his specials on Comedy Central. I always thought he was funny, but with this book, he reveals that he's dedicated, passionate, a good guy, and a family man. Really entertaining read with a bunch of cool insider stories about Hollywood, and even some ventriloquism tricks, which I never thought I'd be interested in reading, but it's very cool! Definitely a recommended read.
