No Cure for Cancer by Denis Leary

No Cure for Cancer by Denis Leary

An uproarious and lacerating meditation on life--and death--by celebrated comedian and actor Denis Leary.

Based on the writer-performer's hit Off-Broadway show, this rapid-fire monologue sends up society and its ills--disease, drugs, crime, junk culture, the recovery movement, pious political correctness, urban life, and above all, our fear of mortality--with wicked satire and insight.

High-octane comedy . . . terribly, angrily funny.--The New York Times

Absolutely brilliant . . . the real cutting edge of American comedy.--The Boston Globe

Denis Leary has appeared in more than thirty films, including the Oscar-nominated Wag the Dog, The Thomas Crowne Affair, and Ice Age, as well as the Christmas cult classic The Ref, and such indie favorites as Jesus Son and Suicide Kings. Leary was the co-creator, producer, and star of the critically acclaimed network comedy The Job. His one-man shows No Cure For Cancer and Lock n Load broke viewing records on HBO. Leary has also written for New York Magazine, GQ, Playboy, Esquire, and many other publications. He is the co-writer, creator, and star of the four-time Emmy and Golden Globe nominated television series Rescue Me. He lives in Connecticut.
