HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY CRYING Lessons From a life in Comedy

Never one to back down, comedian Carol Leifer has achieved career success in a field that was originally dominated by men. As she recounts her life story, as well as tips for success in show business, in her own New York accent, her delivery is funny, though sometimes uneven. Her advice for job seekers is somewhat facile, while her life is more interesting, particularly when she describes how she got into comedy and worked her way up to performing stand-up on "The Tonight Show" and writing for "Seinfeld" and "Saturday Night Live," among other prominent roles in the entertainment industry. She does a fair bit of name-dropping as she recounts some amusing anecdotes about her encounters with celebrities. S.E.G. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2014]
