Praise for Clothing Optional:

"Humor writer, author, playwright. But enough about me. Alan Zweibel's book made me laugh out loud!" - Steve Martin

"If you're only going to read one book this year, well, you're a moron and this is definitely not the book for you. If, however, you're depressed, agitated, bitter, horny, bi-polar, a layabout, or a pathological liar, then, like me, you have much in common with the depraved soul who wrote these stories and owe it to yourself and whatever loved ones you probably don't have, to read it." - Larry David

"Alan Zweibel is the funniest writer in the world. He might be even funnier when he's naked, but I'm afraid to find out." - Dave Barry

"I've known Alan Zweibel since 1975, and I've always had this sneaking suspicion that he might possess a sense of humor. After reading CLOTHING OPTIONAL, I'm almost sure he does." - Rob Reiner

"So funny, so smart. I can't wait to re-read Alan's book with the TV off." - Martin Short

"Read Alan Zweibel and you'll be reminded of the likes of Robert Benchley and S.J. Perelman. You can't help but be moved by his warmth and insight even as you laugh your ass off." - David Steinberg

"Reading Alan Zweibel makes me laugh out loud. And yet it is not a particularly funny name." - Eric Idle

"This new work by my lifelong pal proves two things. One, he deserves his iconic status as a humorist and two, he needs hospitalization.” - Richard Lewis

"This book made me sick - that l didn't write it." - Larry Gelbart

"That Alan Zweibel is deeply funny is a given. The thing that I really love about this collection is Alan's humanity. Read it. It's wise, hilarious and original." - Susie Essman
