NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

At 100 years old, the legendary Mel Brooks continues to set the standard for comedy across television, film, and the stage. Now, for the first time, this EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony) winner shares his story in his own words.

Here are the never-before-told, behind-the-scenes anecdotes and remembrances from a master storyteller, filmmaker, and creator of all things funny.

From The Producers to Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein to Anxiety and more, All About Me! offers fans fascinating and hilarious insight into Mel Brooks's outstanding collection of boundary-breaking work. Filled with tales of struggle, achievement and camaraderie, Brooks shares riveting details about his upbringing, his career and his many close friendships and collaborations including those with Gene Wilder, Alfred Hitchcock, and the great love of his love, Anne Bancroft.

'Not since the Bible have I read anything so powerful and poignant. And to boot - it's a lot funnier!' M. Brooks

Critics' reviews

Delightful. A great, fun read (Sir David Jason)

Laugh-out-loud hilarious and always fascinating, from the great Mel Brooks. What else do you expect from the man who knew Jesus and dated Joan of Arc? (Billy Crystal)

This book has everything you would ever want Mel Brooks to tell you, and at 462 pages it is still not enough! Pure joy. (Judd Apatow)

Mel Brooks is Mount Hilarious. All any of us can do is look up and feel small and not as funny in comparison. (Marc Maron)

There are people who have great stories and there are people that tell great stories. Mel is that precious combination of a person with amazing stories who happens to be one of the greatest storytellers of all time. Lucky for him? Lucky for us! (Sarah Silverman)

If you are holding the great Mel Brooks's memoir and you are wasting time reading this blurb, you're an idiot. (Conan O'Brien)

This marvelous book by the great man himself will give you a mega-dose of sheer reading pleasure. It's the personal, delightfully revealing life story of a giant comic talent. All About Me! delivers a much-needed, therapeutic supply of full-out laughter. (Dick Cavett)

All About Me! isn't a typical comedy memoir, and why would it be? Mel is a singular talent, still witty, still sharp and still zinging us after all these years. These stories thread a hilarious narrative that is also profound and touching. Reading this you'll learn very quickly why Mel Brooks is a king of comedy. (Wanda Sykes)

Mel Brooks has made three of the best comedies ever made. Read all about it (John Cleese)

Studded with snickering asides and rapid-fire jokes, Brooks's account of making it in show biz is just as sidesplitting as his movies.

An excellent audiobook which is read by the great man himself. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

What a fantastic career!!!
