Sparing no one, Leary zeroes in on the ridiculous wherever he finds it—his Irish Catholic upbringing, the folly of celebrity, the pressures of family life, and the great hypocrisy of politics—with the same bright, savage, and profane insight he brought to his critically acclaimed one-man shows\u003cbr\u003e\nNo Cure for CancerLock ’n Load.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nProudly Irish-American, defiantly working class, with a reserve of compassion for the underdog and the overlooked, Leary delivers blistering diatribes that are both penetrating social commentary with no holds barred and laugh-out-loud funny. As always, Leary’s impassioned comic perspective in Why We Suck is right on target.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nLeary is the star and co-creator of the Emmy-nominated television show\u003cbr\u003e\nRescue Me. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAbout the Author\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDenis Leary has appeared in more than thirty films, including the Oscar-nominated\u003cbr\u003e\nWag the Dog,\u003cbr\u003e\n The Thomas Crowne Affair, and\u003cbr\u003e\nIce Age, as well as the Christmas cult classic\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Ref, and such indie favorites as\u003cbr\u003e\nJesus’ Son and\u003cbr\u003e\nSuicide Kings.
