4/5
“Born Standing Up” is a solid, well written debut memoir from the stand-up comedy legend Steve Martin. It's quite short and to the point at around 200 pages total but Martin does a great job covering his massive rise to fame and decision to step away from performing stand-up and pivoting to film. It could've been a bit meatier, that's my only complaint.
