Description

Josh Wolf--one of the stars and writers of Chelsea Lately and After Lately--delivers a hilarious collection of essays that reminds us all what it takes to conquer fatherhood without sacrificing manhood.

Struggling to make it as a stand-up comic didn't always fit with being a single parent. But Josh figured out his own set of rules--through trial and (frequent) error. Early picking up kids from school? The nearby strip club is a great place to kill time and bond with some like-minded dads. Want a drunken heart-to-heart with your son? First make sure there's no Sharpie around in case you pass out. Wondering where to take that special someone at the end of the night? Remember that no sane woman will have sex with you in a one-bedroom apartment where your kids are sleeping--even if you promise to be really, really quiet.

Whether it's revealing the secrets to limitless hookups (hint: it's single moms) and getting rid of your children's friends that you just can't stand (hint: it's not single moms), or blackmailing PTA members and ignoring health codes, Josh is sure to impart some parenting wisdom along the way. Or at least have a good time trying.

    One of the best comedic/narrative books I've read if not the very best! It has so many laughable stories from Josh Wolf's life, which he also talk about in his and Ross Mathew's podcast (He Said, He Said) and every single chapter actually taught me things about life that I should prepare for and avoid or also face head on with a positive attitud and sense of humor. Completely recommendable, it's so easy to read you can actually hear Josh speaking to you the entire time!
  • Hilarious!

    This is the funniest book I have ever read. Having been a single mother at one time I could relate to all the craziness of that time of my life. Hats off to Josh for a great book!

    The only negative thing I have to say is that this book was over way to fast and I'm not ready to stop reading. Josh Wolfe thank you for sharing your struggle, your humor and your refreshing honesty.... Please keep writing!
