Inhaltsangabe

“Cedric [the Entertainer’s] punch line prose recalls Richard Pryor’s autobiography when he traces his middle-class beginnings. . . . The comedian’s you-are-there narration never misses a chance to crack a smile.”
–King

Here’s the red-hot comic in all his hilarity, talking about everything from old music vs. new (“I like big, curl-ain’t-quite-right Luther. His curl never really curled all the way over. Always concerned me.”) to the pain of political correctness (“You can’t even smoke cigarettes on Earth now. You got to leave Earth to do it.”) to the differences between black people and white folks. He talks about the influences that shaped him while growing up in small town Missouri, a town “so small anyone could whip your butt, not just your mama.” In Grown-A$$ Man, you’ll see the many faces of Cedric, all outrageously funny and delivered with his trademark warmth and wit.
