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

Product Description

The most popular standup comic in the U.S." --Time

Whether he's breathing life into Walter, an old curmudgeon; Peanut, an over-caffeinated purple maniac; or Achmed, a screaming, skeletal, dead terrorist, comedian and ventriloquist Jeff Dunham is the straight man to some of the wildest, 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 road to becoming America's favorite comedian. With wit, honesty, and lots of great show business detail, Dunham shares all the major moments in his journey to worldwide fame and success.

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!

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.
