Dear Mrs. Fitzsimmons

PARENTS: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME

Greg Fitzsimmons has made a lot of what appear to be bad decisions. It's what he was raised to do. Most parents would hide or destroy any evidence so clearly demonstrating their child's failures, but - lucky for us - Greg Fitzsimmons's family has preserved each mistake in its original envelope like a trophy in a case, lest he ever forget where he came from.

Dear Mrs. Fitzsimmons is Greg's life, told through this cavalcade of disciplinary letters, incident reports, and newspaper clippings that his parents received from teachers and school officials. Greg picks up where his parents left off with his own collection of letters received during college and throughout his successful career as a writer, producer, and stand-up comic. Revealing the larger story of how Greg's distinctly dysfunctional Irish-American family bred him to blindly challenge anyone, anytime, anywhere, over anything, Dear Mrs. Fitzsimmons comes full circle to show that the Fitzsimmons torch has been passed on proudly to a new generation.

fucking awesome! nice work Fitz!

super funny, super vulnerable, super brilliant! I'd recommend this to any fan of comedy

A Fun Listen

I wasn't familiar with the author, but he's funny and thoughtful. I enjoyed this very much.

Awesome premise

A very funny book.

The author's road rage stories are what stood out the most.

I'd recommend this to anyone who loves comedy.

very funny audio book

great audiobook, loved greg and his stories. only downside was adam carolla's recording made in his bathtub.

Overdue review by long-time fan

I've been a fan of Fitzdog since the mid-2000s. Now that I finally got around to listening to his book, it is everything I expected and more. I would have given the performance five stars had not been for the technical drawbacks for some of his guest readers. Still, it's fun hearing his comedy friends share in reading. This book reflects Greg's talent and experience as a writer. Many comedy fans might know that many comedians don't enjoy writing books, let alone recording them. Greg stands out as among the best.

Great narrative

I really like the way Greg put his memoir together. I listen to his podcast, and so I'm familiar with -- and appreciate -- his self-deprecating sense of humor and world view. But this audiobook gave me such a wonderful look at his life. He's such an open book here: he exposes himself, his family (lucky them) and his insecurities... in a funny way. He's a genius and this audiobook is, too.

Funny and very entertaining.

Funny man gives insight into his life growing up in an Irish family, and his life as an adult. I found myself laughing out loud a lot while enjoying this book. Good, clean, light humor. Would recommend it to just about everyone.

Very entertaining and honest.

Would you consider the audio edition of Dear Mrs. Fitzsimmons (The Audiobook) to be better than the print version?

Really enjoyed listening to the Fitzdog. His stories are hilarious. He goes deep with secrets that most folks would never reveal. The guest narrators add a nice flavor to the listening experience.

What did you like best about this story?

The truthfulness.

Have you listened to any of the narrators’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Great performance.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It definitely made me laugh.

Mother must be Proud

Great stories, poorly recorded letters, and very funny. I could listen to Gregs stories for hrs and thru podcasts and this book i have.

Just like his podcasts!

I love Greg Fitzsimmons, altho , as a79 year old woman I certainly don’t fit his demographics. But the book, like Greg, is absolutely hysterical and sincere and show the better side he has matured into
