| In the bestselling tradition of Al Franken's character-humor masterpiece, Stuart Smalley's I'm Good Enough, I'm Smart Enough, and Doggone it, People Like Me! comes the fictional memoir of one of comedy's most outrageous and enduring creations, The Kids in the Hall barfly Buddy Cole. Former Kid in the Hall Scott Thompson brings us the outrageous life story of his wildly popular character, Buddy Cole, in "Buddy Babylon: The Autobiography of Buddy Cole". Buddy's tell-all autobiography (written by Scott with Paul Bellini, the Head Writer for The Kids in the Hall) features the off-beat, over-the-top humor that was the Kids' trademark, and helped make Buddy Cole's monologues the most oft-repeated sketches that Kids ever ran. From his birth in a Quebecois blizzard, the 27th child of poor pig farmers, to the peaks of international superstardom and inevitable, tawdry decline, "Buddy Babylon" takes readers on a celebrity journey like no other, complete with rampaging sexuality, heartbreaking sacrifice, the invention of synchronized swimming, and other highlights readers would expect from a life never lived in the spotlight. |
