Summary
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 words—with no punches pulled。
Today， he stars in hit films， headlines sold-out tours， hosts the popular Uncle Joey’s Joint podcast， and is a devoted father—but his life wasn’t always so picture-perfect。 Joey “Coco” Diaz credits his success to his “immigrant mentality，” the work ethic his mother modeled for him and on which countless others have depended to survive the harsh landscape of being an outsider。
Diaz wasn’t always a star， but he was always a comedian—it just took him a while to figure it out。 To be fair， he was pretty busy while he was young: helping his tough-as-nails mother in her bar， holding a gun for the first time at the age of six， and later dealing drugs and serving time。
Tremendous is the story of Diaz’s 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。
It’s not a story for the faint of heart， or for prudes who’ve never spent a week sleeping in a piece of playground equipment。 From finding his mom’s body to high stakes crime， addiction and depression， there are plenty of dark episodes in this saga。 Diaz shares it all with brutal honesty and humor， in the same inimitable voice he’d use talking to you from the stage or in a bar。 He also shares the story of his improbable rise to the top and the bumpy road that led him there。
An inspiration to misfits everywhere， Tremendous is storytelling at its finest—and a reminder that the direst of circumstances can change in unimaginable， unpredictable ways。

My coworker played a Joey Diaz routine on youtube the other day。 It was a bit about having to retake a school year and then finding his Mother dead。 I was mesmerized by it。 I can't tell you when I first heard about Diaz。 I'd probably seen either standup or other stuff he was in years ago。 He's never been a go-to comedian for me。 But after this youtube segment， when I saw he had written a book I knew I had to get it。 He's one of those guys who tells stories that make you want to know more。 Joey D My coworker played a Joey Diaz routine on youtube the other day。 It was a bit about having to retake a school year and then finding his Mother dead。 I was mesmerized by it。 I can't tell you when I first heard about Diaz。 I'd probably seen either standup or other stuff he was in years ago。 He's never been a go-to comedian for me。 But after this youtube segment， when I saw he had written a book I knew I had to get it。 He's one of those guys who tells stories that make you want to know more。 Joey Diaz is not your friendly comedian。 Let me get that out of the way。 You are not going to have something similar to， let's say for instance Iliza Shlesinger's book。 Or god forbid you go into this thinking all comedians are like Ellen。 If you do pick this up， you're probably already a Joey Diaz fan so you'll get the roughness right away。 I knew he was a tough guy but didn't realize how much criminal activity he committed。 And you know what， I don't even fault him。 I flew through this book。 The way he tells stories， as I said above， makes you want to keep going。 I never once felt bored。 I will even admit that one moment in the book truly had me laugh out loud。 It was the Matthew McConaughey and Ralphie May story。 。。。more
