Marc Maron was an angst-filled comedian who dreamed of a simple normal life, a sitcom, and love. Instead, as he turned the corner toward middle age, he found himself fired from his radio job and divorced from the woman he thought he loved. He tried to heal his broken heart through the usual means - angry yoga, hoarding, Viagra addiction, dating his stalker, cooking for spite, overdosing on recovery, becoming a cat person - but nothing seemed to work. It was only when he was stripped down to nothing that he found his way back. This is a story about the wild interior life of a grown-up facing the black chasm of failure and finding a way, however crazily, through it all, told with Maron's trademark wit, honesty, absurdism, and occasional flights of genius.
