It's his sort-of coming out story imbued with the trauma of losing his mother Amy to ovarian cancer, told via a 2000-slide PowerPoint presentation and finished off with a genuinely impressive magic trick (Sharp was a childhood magician). On the subject of finishing, it's an abundance of sordid sex tales that fill the gaps between Sharp's god-fearing childhood in America's south, and his mother's crushing death in 2010.

Steve Martin Writes the Written Word is an aptly-named collection and excellent introduction to the comedian's best writings, including some new material.
