Publisher's summary

The man who brought the kavorka to the Seinfeld show through one of the most remarkable and beloved television characters ever invented, Kramer, shares the extraordinary life of a comedy genius—the way he came into himself as an artist, the ups and downs as a human being, the road he has traveled in search of understanding.

“The hair, so essential, symbolizes the irrational that was and is and always will be the underlying feature not only of Kramer but of comedy itself. This seemingly senseless spirit has been coursing through me since childhood. I’ve been under its almighty influence since the day I came into this world. I felt it all within myself, especially the physical comedy, the body movements, so freakish and undignified, where I bumped into things, knocked stuff down, messed up situations, and often ended up on my ass.

“This book is a hymn to the irrational, the senseless spirit that breaks the whole into pieces, a reflection on the seemingly absurd difficulties that intrude upon us all. It’s Harpo Marx turning us about, shaking up my plans, throwing me for a loop. Upset and turmoil is with us all the time. It’s at the basis of comedy. It’s the pratfall we all take. It’s the unavoidable mistake we didn’t expect. It’s everywhere I go. It’s in the way that I am, both light and dark, good and not-so-good. It’s my life.”—Michael Richards, from Entrances and Exits

So much POW! Mind blowing, and an inside scoop of the life of Michael Richards. A MUST CHECK OUT!!!

This is a must read about the life of Michael Richards, the man behind many faces including Cosmo Kramer. This book had many ups and downs and really just mind blowing stories, so far chapter 15: The Truth was so raw that I even cried, that one was deep. Chapter 24: The Coming Home was so good and heartfelt. The infamous Chapter 27: Not Funny took more of an inside scoop of the incident and the aftermath. And last but not least Chapter 31: The Light was just amazing. Like really this is a must read and I hope to see Michael Richards one day just to shake his hand and thank him for this book. He really went outta the ballpark with this one. <3

Disappointed it didn’t fold out to a coffee table!

I may never buy another audiobook that’s not read by the author. What a great listen! His Seinfeld stories were great. His childhood is interesting. His unabashed retelling of the meltdown on the stand up stage was fantastic. If you’re a Seinfeld fan; I can’t recommend enough. If you’re not; I can’t recommend this enough. Side note: His Jay Leno voice is dead-on.

Simply amazing.

Michael Richards autobiography is a bit of a surprise. The king of Seinfeld pratfalls, the hipster doofus, the silly clown, turns out, he’s an amazingly deep, complex, philosophical man.  The book has the essence of a genius. A man who takes his craft, so seriously it catches you off guard. So deep and moving.
I’m not sure what I was expecting, perhaps, a silly joke book via Kramer, maybe a pop-up coffee table book . 
Instead, I found one of the best autobiographies ever written. Literally.  it’s that good.
Easily five stars. 
Profound. Complex. Fantastic
I highly recommend this book. You’ll be glad.

The depth of this human….the perspective of the ordinary and the celebrity.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. When it ended, I was left wanting more. You know how when you meet someone through a reading such as this and when you’re finished you’re drawn to that person and think….”we should be great friends?” I was left with that feeling and Michael touched my heart with his life’s experiences. He is an extraordinary man in an ordinary way with an amazing gift and talent. “Ordinary” meaning that he experienced things/challenges that most people may experience in their lifetime. Enjoyed the self reflection and how he strives to be a better person. Amazing!
