Funny, Real, and Enjoyable

4.5 out of 5 stars

Another book that I threw into my giant TBR pile in for myself, Comedy Sex God reads basically in that order.  If you’re unfamiliar with Pete Holmes – he’s a former youth counselor, turned stand-up comedian.  He had a 100+ episode run of a late night show on TBS after Conan.  He’s also had 3 specials/albums.  He’s easily one of my favorite working comedians today and I picked this one up without even thinking about it.  I know I’m not the comedian friends that he’s had reading it, but damn did I enjoy this.

There were some parts of this that I thought were just part of his comedy, but after reading this I found out that it actually happened to him.  He does a bit about in every other dimension – he’s a youth pastor. I thought that was a bit, but he really went to school to become a youth pastor.

The book was real and deep.  Holmes goes into his first marriage – then his subsequent divorce.  He talks a lot about god (and spirituality) first from the perspective of a religious man going to a Christian College.  Then from the point of view of an atheist.  It was fascinating to me.

If you’re a fan of Holmes you’ll love this.  If you are unsure of where you are in your life spiritually – you’ll probably enjoy this as well.  Holmes is a fascinating guy and having him read this book to you really made it more enjoyable.
