A witty take on recovery, romance, and showbiz—from a gifted comedian.

Readers will laugh out loud, wince in discomfort, and ultimately celebrate the triumph of recovery in this uproarious memoir by comedian Ed Driscoll. Irreverant and provocative, Driscoll spins everyday annoyances and mishaps into amusing escapades—even managing to find the lighter side of one of the great tragedies of his life: alcoholism. Spilled Gravy is Driscoll’s running commentary about the entertainment business, personal ads, and how the "career gravy" began flowing again once he became sober. A highly sought "punch up" writer, Driscoll has contributed to television shows such as The Drew Carey Show, television specials such as The Academy Awards, and feature films such as Scooby-Doo. In 2003, his stand-up show about the travails of online dating, "Mismatch Maker," ran for nine weeks at the legendary Comedy Store in Los Angeles.

"Ed's book sucker punched me into paroxysms of laughter."
—Dennis Miller, comedian
