Outsider. Misfit. Criminal. Convict. Movie star. Family man. Comedy legend.
Joey Diaz has been called every name in the book (and then some). Now, for the first time, he shares the story of his unlikely rise to fame in his own wordsâwith no punches pulled.
Today, he stars in hit films, headlines sold-out tours, hosts the popular Uncle Joeyâs Joint podcast, and is a devoted fatherâbut his life wasnât always so pictureperfect.
Tremendous is the story of Diazâs life, from grueling childhood and misspent youth to finding his true calling in comedy. Immigrants, fans of celebrity tales, and comedy enthusiasts alike will be enthralled by this incredibly true, foul-mouthed, and funny memoir.
Itâs not a story for the faint of heart, or for prudes whoâve never spent a week sleeping on a piece of playground equipment. Diaz shares it all with brutal honesty and humor, in the same inimitable voice heâd use talking to you from the stage or in a bar.
An inspiration for misfits everywhere, Tremendous is storytelling at its finestâand a reminder that the direst of circumstances can change in unimaginable, unpredictable ways.
