I'm not a huge Steve Martin fan or anything, but I picked this up because it was on sale and I had heard good things about it. And it was fairly interesting. His humour comes through in the writing and he is open and honest about his personal relationships with his family and with women.

I was hoping it would cover a little more later into his life, but as the title suggests it mostly focuses on his stand up days (as well as his early life and breaking into the comedy business).
