Emerging, prize-winning comedian Mario DiGiorgio gives tongue-in-cheek advice on how to be more self-centered, cynical, and most importantly, hilariously inappropriate. Some suggest that this black cloud of wisdom is, in fact, the Anti-Christ in book form. But you know better. You know there comes a time when children need tripping, dolphins need flogging, and by gum, old people need a-murderin. Add it to your collection today for a brighter and more bitter tomorrow. "Dance like nobody's watching. Then apologize to those who were." "Tape record your mother's laughter. Play it at your father's funeral." "Help a child plant a garden. They have no idea what pot looks like." "Write down three things that were great about today. I know, neither can I." Small, hardcover.
"DiGiorgio's as dry as a martini at the Tanqueray distillery, as caustic as a Drano milkshake, as funny as a banana peel on the floor of the Republican convention." -The Austin Chronicle. "For a comic who's still a baby in the business, Mario's got no hacky shit in his act." -Nick Dipaolo, comedian.
With a degree in advertising, Mario DiGiorgio moved to Austin, Texas from New Jersey, and began writing comedy in between a dozen restaurant jobs. Eight months after his debut on stage, he won a contest as The Funniest Person in Austin; was a finalist at the HBO/Aspen Open Call for stand-up; and was a finalist in Comedy Central's Laugh Riots competition. Mario was also featured on Comedy Central's Premium Blend in 2006 and performed at the prestigious Just For Laughs festival in Montreal.
