Synopsis
A laugh-out-loud collection of outrageously funny open letters from Don Rickles, the legendary master of insult comedy.
From the undisputed king of insult comedy comes a hilarious collection of outrageous letters that only Don Rickles could write. In Rickles’ Letters, the legendary comedian turns his razor-sharp wit loose on celebrities, politicians, historical figures, and everyday annoyances in a series of laugh-out-loud open letters packed with sarcasm, charm, and classic Rickles-style jabs.
Whether he’s offering unsolicited advice to Queen Elizabeth, taking aim at Hollywood stars, or apologizing to Mrs. Lincoln for her “rough night” at Ford’s Theatre, Rickles delivers the fearless humor and quick-fire one-liners that made him an entertainment icon for decades.
Perfect for longtime fans and newcomers alike, Rickles’ Letters is a fast, wildly entertaining read that celebrates the art of the roast with affection, absurdity, and nonstop laughs.
