Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Super book. I'm not working in showbiz nor am I in recovery but I relate to this book cover to cover. In this book Ed Driscoll takes you through various events in his life, some tragic, some uplifting but all told in a wonderfully humorous yet insightful way. Specifically he shares some of his online dating experiences which are laugh-out-loud hilarious. Even his stories about struggling with his carreer and later making it in hollywood after being sober was funny. A great book for anyone who loves to laugh and grow. I am getting some copies for my fellow office workers becasue I can't do the stories justice when I try to tell them myself.

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.
