description: His YouTube videos have been viewed more than 400 million times by fans all over the world. He has played to sold-out venues across North America Europe South Africa and Australia. He has sold more than six million DVDs Forbes has ranked him in their Celebrity 100 list of most powerful entertainers for two years running and he has been the top touring comedian in the United States for the last two years. Whether he's breathing life into an old curmudgeon an over- caffeinated purple maniac or a screaming skeletal dead terrorist Jeff Dunham is the straight man to some of the funniest partners in show business. All by My Selves is the story of one pretty ordinary guy one interesting hobby one very understanding set of parents and a long and winding rode to becoming America's favorite comedian. With wit honesty and lots of great show business detail Jeff shares all the major moments in his journey. From the toy dummy he spotted at a toy store when he was 8 years old to playing to arenas filled with screaming fans Jeff takes readers behind the curtain to explain how he turned an old fashioned art form into something truly modern and hip. Best of all Jeff's story is accompanied by asides and interruptions from his characters-who share all the hilarious details Jeff himself is too embarrassed to include.
