From her childhood longing to be a priest, to her role in developing The Daily Show and her life today (complete with two difficult dogs), Winstead has tapped an outrageous and heartfelt vein of the all-too-human comedy. In this collection of autobiographical essays, Winstead vividly recounts how she fought to find her own voice, both as a comedian and as a woman, and how humor became her most powerful weapon in confronting life's challenges.
