Berlin, Summer 2011. Adolf Hitler wakes up on a patch of open ground, alive and well. Things have changed – no Eva Braun, no Nazi party, no war. Hitler barely recognises his beloved Fatherland, filled with immigrants and run by a woman. People certainly recognise him, albeit as a flawless impersonator who refuses to break character.

Bobcat Goldthwait is a certifiable comic cult hero and icon. He starred in the Police Academy movies, was a Tonight Show arsonist, the creator and star of Shakes The Clown, and much more. This is his first record in over 15 years, and he talks candidly about the places he's been, who he's pissed off (a rather impressive list), and the things he's seen. You'll learn why he got kicked off Hollywood Squares, the intrigue on the set of Blow, and why he set the Tonight Show on fire.

These inspired standup performances feature stories about being sort-of famous. Take an epic journey to the Saturday Night Live 25th Anniversary Show and into the depths of Julia Sweeney's soul. Watch Dana Gould get his pilot tested. Plus great snapshots of near-fame from Bobcat Goldthwait, Beth Lapides, and a gem of a song from Andy Dick with music by Andras Jones (we think).

Magid discusses never really accepting an identity, eventually coming to grips that being mixed (and feeling out of place) is okay.
