Write what you know, it's a piece of advice that applies even to comedy. So Tim O'Malley has mined his own personal life for his show Godshow The result is an honest, heart-rending and still hilarious show that was a huge hit in the summer of 2003. O'Malley is a second city alum sharing the story of his personal journey from Chicago stage to L.A. sitcoms. It also addresses his family life and an addiction to alcohol and drugs. More than a story of one man's recovery this is a sharp commentary on how things can get out of hand for each and every one of us. -- Jenn Q. GodduExcerpt from AOL City Guide: Chicago
