The concept of "50 Things That are Better Than Sex" has been an open tab on my computer for around a year and a half. It was originally an inside joke with my friends when watching a football game and was the exact premise around #3 Pounding It Up the Middle (basically three straight run plays for a first down). I remember jumping out of my seat and just saying for whatever reason "I guarantee you that's better than sex" which got quite the laugh out of my friends. I had always written sometimes on planes when I didn't have any Wi-Fi, both comedic things, reflections, and realizations around life- but had never really been pushed to dive in and finish something. I always knew I was a writer and had a very specific and unique style- but had never really been pushed by someone else or myself to actually showcase an original work. The opportunity actually came in a USC class called "The Science of Peak Performance." An amazing class tought by Dr. Glenn Fox for students to discover the scientific and mental element of performance, as it applies to entrepreneurship.

[pic of Rupert Everett and his mother] They say that sometimes ghosts don't realize they're dead and wander around screaming because no one is paying them any attention. Well, in show business you may have been dead five years before you finally twig. You howl around the corridors of power while the elected march straight through. Then one day you catch yourself in a mirror and there is nothing looking back.

The world’s second play set and performed on board a typical Melbourne tram as it makes its way from the St. Kilda terminus to the City and back. An audience gathers at the terminus where the tram soon arrives carrying a conductress and a sleeping drunk. As the ‘connie’ struggles to get a fare from the old man various characters come on board her tram. There’s a Brighton socialite who’s just split up from her husband and never been on public transport before, then a punk with a plastic dog (used for collecting money for the Blind Society) which he’s obviously stolen, followed by a couple who had a relationship six years ago and now find themselves bitterly arguing over the paternity of "their son". Just before arriving at the city an overzealous ticket inspector adds to the crazy mix of strangers and promptly sacks the connie for dereliction of duty. After interval at a hotel in the city the return journey sees the return of the old derro (who had been thrown off the tram on the way in by the punk) as well as the return of the bickering couple and the socialite who has just confronted her husband in the foyer of the Melbourne Theatre Company. As matters reach a climax the derro attempts to hijack the tram starting an altercation with the ticket inspector who staggers off into the night thinking he’s stabbed the old man (but only hit his pie and tomato sauce). Eventually the police arrive, the wrong people are arrested and the punk makes an amorous play for the connie’s affections. By the time the audience return to the terminus where it all started they know the lives of these characters will never be the same again.

THE IMPERFECT STORM: From Henry Street To Hollywood is the improbable – and vastly entertaining – story of Howard Storm (nee Howard Sobel), who grew up on the mean streets of New York’s Lower East Side during the Great Depression and went on to become a successful standup comic, actor, improv teacher, and television director. In the world of entertainment, Howard’s hilarious storytelling prowess is legendary. After years of friends demanding he set these stories down in book form, he finally did it, with the help of author Steve Stoliar (RAISED EYEBROWS: My Years Inside Groucho’s House). THE IMPERFECT STORM is filled with funny, shocking, sometimes bittersweet stories about playing rough-and-tumble mob-owned clubs in the ‘50s, graduating to big-time clubs in the ‘60s, directing such classic TV shows as RHODA, LAVERNE & SHIRLEY, MORK & MINDY, TAXI and EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND, and much, much more. Along the way, there are previously unpublished photos and never-before-told stories about such immortals as Judy Garland, Cary Grant, Frank Sinatra, Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz, Woody Allen, Lenny Bruce, Valerie Harper, Joan Rivers, Don Rickles, Jonathan Winters, and Robin Williams, just to shave the tip off the iceberg. A remarkable tale, from start to finish."A terrific book. Great show-business stories, celebrities, gangsters, prizefighters – all fresh tales, hilariously told by a guy who really knows how to tell them."— Woody Allen "What a humorously entertaining and immersing autobiography!!! It makes one feel they’re on an extended car-trip with a favorite uncle through the glory days of show-biz; from vaudeville to the Catskills to Broadway to Hollywood sit-coms. (And had I known Howard was so ‘connected,’ I would have gotten to work on time!) This amazing trip through time is certainly worth the ride."— Pam Dawber "One of the most life-affirming reads ever. Howard Storm is an American Master."— Richard Lewis "I’ve known Howard Storm for almost 40 years. I know him a lot better now. From the lower east side to the borscht belt, from the comedy clubs of the Village to the sound stages of Hollywood, this hilarious and touching book is like having an intimate conversation with a funny charming man who has seen almost everything and everyone from in front of and behind the camera. — Billy Crystal "The only problem with the book is that it ends."— Dick Cavett "’The Imperfect Storm’ is a perfect read."— Bob Newhart "I may be in the minority, but I liked it."— Mel Brooks

This is the Hardback edition. RAISED EYEBROWS: My Years Inside Groucho’s House is the bittersweet story of the last years in the life of Groucho Marx, told by a young Marx Brothers fan who was fortunate enough to work for Groucho as his personal secretary and archivist, right inside Marx’s Beverly Hills home. In addition to getting to know his hero, the author was able to spend quality time with Zeppo, Gummo, Mae West, George Burns, Bob Hope, Jack Lemmon, S.J. Perelman, Steve Allen, and scores of other luminaries of stage, screen, TV and literature. The downside of this dream-come-true was getting close to his idol as the curtain was coming down, and dealing with Erin Fleming – the mercurial woman in charge of Groucho’s personal and professional life. Filled with never-before-seen photos and anecdotes, with an introduction by Dick Cavett.The author has written a new Afterword for this edition, detailing events and experiences that have taken place in the 15 years since the book was originally published, and there is a terrific new cover drawing by artist extraordinaire, Drew Friedman."A real page-turner that is by turns startling, shocking and as engrossing as a good novel. What a splendid book it is." — DICK CAVETT¿¿"It’s one of the best books about a show-business icon I’ve ever read…It makes Groucho live so much more than the conventional bios."¿ — WOODY ALLEN¿"Raised Eyebrows is an intimate account of one of our national treasures – Groucho Marx. It’s written by a young man who was fortunate enough to live with and work for Groucho, and if he doesn’t know what he’s talking about, who would? It has a unique insider’s ¿point of view and is a fascinating study of a man who was one of the kings of comedy." ¿– JACK LEMMON"In this delightful report, Mr. Stoliar brings the real Groucho alive with wit, tears and all."¿ — STEVE ALLEN

The ultimate biography of this ever-popular star and icon, from a young Cambridge don who has already made his name with a much praised biography of Marilyn Monroe.Cary Grant made men seem like a good idea. Tall, dark and handsome with a rare gift for light comedy, he played a leading man who liked to be led, a man of the world who was a man of the people. Cary Grant was Hollywood's quintessential democratic gentleman. Born in England as Archie Leach, made famous in America as Cary Grant, he was a star for more than 30 years, in more than 70 movies, his popularity still intact when he brought his career to a close. He was never replaced: nobody else talked like that, looked like that, behaved like that. He was a class apart. Cary Grant never explained how he came to play 'Cary Grant' so well. 'Nobody is every truthful about his own life,' he said. 'There are always ambiguities.' This book explores the ambiguities in the life and work of Cary Grant: a working class Englishman who portrayed a well-bred American; the playful entertainer who became a powerful businessman; the intimate stranger who was often the seduced male. Thorough and meticulously researched, this book is a dazzling and entertaining account of Cary Grant's broad and enduring appeal.
