'If Monty Python were the Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, C-3PO, and R2-D2 of comedy - Marty Feldman was their Obi-Wan Kenobi.'

"Marty Feldman really was a comic genius, and this warm, frank memoir brings that genius briefly back to us. What a crazy, inspired journey of a life he had. The book also brings back to life an amazing time in the culture, when the wild art and comedy we now take for granted was first finding its legs. I loved this book, and wish Marty was still alive so I could tell him how much I loved it, and we could be pals."

- George Saunders

 
"He was totally unique. Like something out of mythology. But funny."
- Michael Sheen

"No one has ever made me laugh as hard as Marty Feldman in Young Frankenstein. He was pure comic perfection."

"The only thing more wonderful than this book is actually watching Marty Feldman Perform. Both thrill me."
- Jeff Garlin

"He was a pioneer of comedy who inspired pioneers of comedy, a hero to my comedy heroes."
- Sarah Silverman

- Maya Rudolph

"A fascinating insight into the mind of Feldman for weirdos everywhere, long live this comic genius."
- John C. Reilly
