I Am Who I Pretend to Be

by Leo Anthony Gallagher Jr.

The name Gallagher conjures up immediate images of smashing watermelons. However, his roots are in stand-up comedy, and this is where he returns in this, his final album. Recorded live in May 2014 at the legendary Ice House Comedy Club, where he recorded his very first, and only, stand-up album in 1978, Gallagher treats his loyal fans to his unique observations about life.

I snatched this up quick on Audible, thinking it a memoir of sorts. But, it is just a 2014 live show that in this Trump era makes me feel Gallagher is more conservative and prejudiced than I had recalled... Well, on March 14, 2012, just before a performance in Denton, Gallagher suffered a "mild to serious" heart attack and was placed in the hospital in a medically induced coma. That he is back at it all is probably a wonder. No Sledge-O-Matic, though. I guess that is really a visual thing....
