One of the Original Kings of Comedy, Bernie Mac makes it a point to speak his mind, in no uncertain terms. Praised as the successor to Redd Foxx & Richard Pryor & called the most "shockingly funny" comedian since Lenny Bruce (Chicago Tribune), Mac stole the show in Spike Lee's movie, "The Kings of Comedy," & toured in its hugely successful comedy group that grossed over $37 million. In I Ain't Scared of You, Mac channels his formidable & popular talent into the written word. Bernie's comic persona as the black Archie Bunker is writ large on the page as we get a glimpse of how his life has honed his comedy. Bernie has an opinion on everything, & it's not P.C., it's not warm & fuzzy, & it's definitely going to rile some folks. But it's honest, it's real, & it's funny as hell. I Ain't Scared of You touches on Mac's family life, including some hilariously raunchy, brass-tacks insights on marriage. He rants on sports, he raves on music, he reveres the black comedians who paved his way, he riffs on his burgeoning movie career, & even takes on Hollywood in the process...but he ain't scared of them. Altogether, I Ain't Scared of You is both a testament to & a showcase of the raw humor that defines Bernie Mac: his lunacy, his genius, his boundless potential.Mac, Bernie is the author of 'I Ain't Scared of You Bernie Mac on How Life Is' with ISBN 9780743428217 and ISBN 0743428218.
