| 3/10/23 |  Chapter 13: Afterparty on the SS Mayhem | Mitch infiltrates the ultimate 8H post-show bash, still searching for his missing mullet, and witnesses almost unimaginable displays of debauchery and tribal violence whilst being pursued by an enraged Nora Dunn. Endnotes: Molly Shannon, Hello Molly!; A Memoir (New York, HarperCollins, 2022) p.207 Capsule Review: Heartbreaking, touching, occasionally funny, moving and inspirational recounting of a life well lived by a purely delightful human.

Endnotes: Ali Wong, Dear Girls; Intimate Tales, Untold Secrets & Advice for Living Your Best Life (New York, Random House, 2019), p.* Capsule Review: framed as letters of advice to Wong’s daughters, but otherwise disconnected and rambling, with predictable pop-cultural analogizing and confessional pre-sex grooming ritual semi-jokes often repurposed from her specials. Anothe... | 28m 26s | ||||||
| 8/17/22 |  Chapter 9: Children of the Frackhole | Mitch reflects on his early comedic influences while high on white skunk juice at the bottom of a disposable waste facility in the Alabama woods and explains how, with the help of his chauffeur, he escaped from a pack of cannibalistic mutants in his up-armored tourbus.

| 4/1/22 |  Foreword, by Louis C.K./Introduction: My First Joke | Endnotes: This foreword, by Louis C.K. was not written for this book, Unstoppable Farce. It was originally intended for inclusion in Nothing Left to Lose, my first autobiography written in 2028, but was dropped by the publisher for unspecified reasons and was replaced by a less-than-enthusiastic but quirky and charming essay by Sarah Silverman that included actual paid advertisements for Masterclass and Zip Recruiter, considered an innovation in the publishing world at the time.
