Rick Lax
Rick Lax wrote the kick-ass book Lawyer Boy: A Case Study on Growing Up. His next book, Fool Me Once: Hustlers, Hookers, Headliners, and How Not to Get Screwed in Vegas, comes out in January. It also kicks ass. When he's not writing, Rick spends his time dressing up as an octogenarian, reuniting feuding prop comics, and stealing urine mats from casino bathrooms.
