Description

Stand-up comic and comedy writer Carol Leifer faced a critical dilemma and had only two options: either continue sharing her greatest childhood memory (seeing the Beatles at Shea Stadium in 1966) or lie about her age. But the choice soon became clear: "I see now that when you deny your age, you deny yourself, and when you lie about your age, you become your inauthentic twin. But most important, when you lie about your age, they win. (And of course by 'they,' I mean the terrorists)." Now, in this uproarious book, Leifer reveals all-her age, her outlook, her life philosophy-no holds barred.

Her ?big break? came when David Letterman unexpectedly showed up one night at the Comic Strip in New York City and caught Carol's show.

She lives in Santa Monica with her partner, their son, and their seven rescue dogs.
