Tim Conway--funny on stage and off. This was a good biography (more of a biography than a memoir, since it covers his life, so perhaps an autobiography). I have to say that I did enjoy this and there were some moments where I didn't just laugh out loud, I kept on laughing and it slowed my reading pace down. That said, I have a remarkable ability to keep a straight face most of the time and made it through with my stomach muscles pain free and my bladder didn't fail me, unlike a few of the people in his book.

This was Tim Conway, warts and all, and while he probably didn't exaggerate too much about his parents, he carefully selected plenty to show us what a colourful pair they were and he credits them and his upbringing for helping him to be funny. His dyslexia didn't hurt, either, but you have to read the book to understand. Like Carol Burnett, he never hits below the belt nor demeans people, which I appreciate. His story is interesting and, of course, I have seen him on TV, so know who he is.

I love Tim Conway. His dentist skit on the Carol Burnett show is my favorite. The Apple Dumplin Gang is a classic. I put this on my tbr.
