Unstoppable Farce; The Mitch Maloney StoryAuthor: Mitch Maloney
Unstoppable Farce tells the story of "Mr. Mirth" himself, in his own words, beginning with forty-five years of what might generously be described as a wasted existence before he decided to become the most successful FC (Famous Comedian) of all time. He describes how he created his Lithuanian Chupacabra alter ego, honed his signature Cheezy Pleezers bit, and became a viral sensation on Qlip Qlop and H!jnx. He dishes the dirt on touring with Hannah Gadsby and Dave Chapelle, what really went down behind the scenes at SNL, and what it was like to be the first (and last) comedian to play the Acropolis. And that's just the beginning. This audio production was made possible by the Seventh Reformed Church of Latter Day Witnesses. Audio engineering by Darbeliostriumopolatrius Macodivetticus. Theme music: "Ouchy" written and performed by Muddy Mitch with Sweet Tooth Delacroix.

Chapter 22: Unstoppable Force
Sunday, 19 April, 2026
Mitch caps off the most lucrative stand up tour of all time with a performance at the Acropolis, but things get a little nutty when an AntiHA terrorist cell calling itself the Punchline Liberation Front shows up.Endnotes:Jim Carrey and Dana Vachon, Memoirs and Misinformation, (New York, Some Kind of Garden/Random House Large Print) p.53. Capsule Review: A pretty shocking behind the curtain peak at the typical life of a rubber faced buffoon turned box office boffo. Finally someone who’s not afraid to tell people how it really is. Slack Score: 3; Snark Score: 8; Overall FCA ranking #196 Sam Tallent, Running the Light (New YorkToo Big to Fail Press, 2020), p49-50, Capsule Review: I know Sam Tallent has publicly stated that this book is not autobiographical. That’s fine. I enjoy it as Billy Ray Schafer’s autobiography, whose autonomy I recognize. A one-week working roadtrip through Colorado of dead rooms and bad choices goes off the rails in spectacular fashion. Slack Score: 2; Snark Score: 11 Overall FCA ranking #29Norm Macdonald, Based On a True Story, a Memoir, (Toronto, HarperCollins, 2016), p. 126. note: also cited in chapter 3; Capsule Review: Funny, of course. Well-paced, although I am suspicious that some of the anecdotes might have been exaggerated or even fabricated. Slack Score: 9 Snark Score: 15 Overall FCA ranking #9Bob Saget, Dirty Daddy: The Chronicles of a Family Man Turned Filthy Comedian by Bob Saget, (New York, It Books, 2014) p.37. Capsule Review: a deeply unwell grief document disguised as a guy doing 90 minutes of crowd work on his own childhood. Slack Score:12; Snark Score 6.5; Overall FCA Ranking: 622Steven Wright, Harold, (New York, Simon & Schuster, 2023), p. 40, Capsule Review: Even more narrowly focussed than the other books in these notes, taking place in just one day in the life of a third grader, but let’s be real, Harold is Steven and vice-a versa. Beautifully written, surreal and detatched. Frequently funny but effortlessly so, as if by accident.
