Example: Paul D'Angelo is a former Boston-area assistant district attorney and criminal-defense trial attorney who, at the same time, became one of the nation's top stand-up comedians.
D'Angelo's first book "Stories I Tell: A Comic's Random Attempts to Make Some Sense Out of Nonsense" earned rave reviews across the board and was an international Gold Medal winner of the 2015 eLit Awards; was voted a finalist in the 2015 International Book Awards; and was selected for Honorable Mention in the 2015 New York Book Festival.
"Stories I Tell" merited a four-star rating from Clarion Reviews, while Kirkus Reviews noted that D'Angelo s book, "Supplies lots of laughs in its observances of the everyday." D'Angelo s debut also won a 'Best of Los Angeles Award' as the Best Comedy Book of 2016, referring to the book as being "packed with brilliant humor and wisdom."
In the follow-up to his critically acclaimed literary debut, D'Angelo presents "More Stories to Tell: A Lawyer Turned Comedian Puts Everyday Life on Trial," adding to the eclectic assortment of hilarious personal stories, dialogues, and comedy routines that Paul seldom, if ever, gets a chance to present onstage.
D'Angelo deftly blends fact, fiction, exaggeration and imagination to sarcastically critique modern society, relate humorous stories from his days working as both a lawyer and a comic, recount awkward moments from his upbringing and personal relationships, and intelligently vent on various social issues that drive us all crazy.
The book is out now and can be purchased through D'Angelo s website at pdangelo.com or directly on Amazon.com in both print and Kindle editions at amazon.com/author/pauldangelo.
