The popular stand-up recorded the entire audiobook version himself for listeners, delivering the trademark wit thats netted him thousands of fans but with a little more depth than what one might expect.

Stay Hungryis available for purchase now, and Maniscalco has recorded an interview about the project that EW can exclusively reveal.

Stay Hungryis a bunch of stories that I basically cannot do in my standup act because theyre really detailed and long and have so much nuance that I thought itd be real fitting for me to put these stories in a book, he says to begin.

It chronicles the last 20 years of my life and gives you a little bit more insight into who I am as a guy and a man.
