The Latest
(and Greatest?!)
From Ed
Cracking Up is more than a Hollywood memoir. It is a funny, honest, behind-the-scenes look at what Ed’s life in comedy teaches us about success, rejection, insecurity, resilience, and finding meaning when life refuses to follow the script.
You say you’ve already read this one?
Well, buy it for someone else!
Or…maybe check out one of Ed’s other books, he’s got a bunch of ‘em!
(Is 5 considered a "bunch”? Or is it a “pack”? Or a “flock”? We’re not sure.)
