Paul D'Angelo is a former Boston-area assistant district attorney and criminal-defense trial attorney who, at the same time, became one of the nation’s top stand-up comedians. In the follow-up to his critically acclaimed literary debut, ‘Stories I Tell: A Comic’s Random Attempts to Make Some Sense Out of Nonsense, ’ which was a Gold Medal winner of the 2015 eLit Awards, a finalist in the 2015 International Book Awards, and voted ‘Best Comedy Book of 2016’ by the Best of L.A. Awards, Paul presents ‘More Stories to Tell: A Lawyer Turned Comedian Puts Everyday Life on Trial.’ This second book adds to the eclectic assortment of hilarious personal stories, dialogues, and comedy routines that Paul seldom, if ever, gets a chance to present on stage. D'Angelo deftly blends fact, fiction, exaggeration, and imagination to sarcastically critique modern society, relate humorous stories from his days working as both a lawyer and a comic, recount awkward moments from his upbringing and personal relationships, and intelligently vent on various social issues that drive us all crazy. Paul tackles subjects as diverse as imagining life growing-up as a prehistoric caveman; recommending the need to issue inspection stickers for people; getting jealous over a dead man; sympathizing with pragmatic Kamikaze pilots; teaching a young son about the facts of life with the help of a video game; re-calling a rather uncomfortable airplane flight after vacationing in Mexico; and calling himself on the phone to ask for money, in a quick paced, engaging manner that everyone can connect with. The book also features sidesplitting excerpts from his L.A. Miserables series of diaries that Paul wrote while trying to break into the entertainment business in Hollywood. ‘More Stories to Tell’ won a Gold Medal in the 2016 eLit Awards. It was also given a four-star rating by Clarion Reviews which noted, The book evinces a keen mind at work and includes many laugh out loud moments. They called the book a worthy sequel to Paul D'Angelo’s first book and is every bit its equal in humor and intelligence.
