No Rest for the Witty, A Doggone Good Read

by Frank King

A writer for the Tonight Show with Jay Leno for twenty years, and a full time standup comedian and public speaker for over 30 years, who has survived two aortic valve replacements, a double bypass, three stents, and a heart attack, so he is truly funny at heart. He has also survived a too-close-to-call near suicide attempt at the height of the recession, after turning a one million dollar real estate portfolio into a one hundred thousand dollar real estate portfolio, practically overnight, in a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. He now speaks to associations, corporations, and colleges using ah-ha's and ha-ha's to turn people's mental, physical, and financial messes and stresses into successes. He's a star of stage, page, and podcast (the world's only funny architectural podcast...go figure), and an award winning humorous newspaper (you remember those) columnist. This is a collection of those newspaper columns. Enjoy the wit and wisdom as Frank King shares his "just a bubble off plumb" look at life.
