Welcome to BillScheft.com, the official online headquarters for all shameless self-promotion of urban wit Bill Scheft, former longtime writer for David Letterman and author of six books, including his Larry David-anointed latest novel (and first audiobook!):
TOMMY DASH:
WAS IT EVERYTHING I SAID?

Johnny Heller SOVAS award winner Bill Scheft

Tommy Dash, an unapologetic 60-year-old scuffling LA stand-up comedian, is trying to apologize his way back into show business, one burnt bridge and one more last chance at a time, during the last days of Pre-Trump America. Think Lewis Black, but a little angrier. Think Sam Kinison on a coke budget. Think Bill Maher, without the cable filter. Think Amy Schumer, with a slightly smaller set of balls. Think Samsonite, but with less baggage.

A lot of people are waiting for their apology. Ex-wives, daughters, soon-to-be former girlfriends and three generations of fellow comics, celebrities and industry people along the redemptive path. But here's the thing with Tommy Dash. Before you may or may not get a sorry, you get a story. And as Tommy will tell you, he is in it for the stories. And so are we. Despite lovingly referring to himself as a Category 4 shitstorm, we root for him and his emerging heart. We want to hear about the wreckage, sure, but we keep hoping he'll land safely.

TOMMY DASH: WAS IT EVERYTHING I SAID? is Scheft's fifth novel and his first in audiobook format. It is narrated by Johnny Heller, an award-winning audiobook voice-over legend. Heller, who recently narrated a biography of Don Rickles, was the beyond no-brainer choice to capture the singular cadence of the not-entirely fictional stand-up Dash.

Don't worry. I am still available to make YOU funnier. Or funny for the first time.

Yeah, you.

If you have a speech or presentation that needs to be written, rewritten or punched up, if your dream is to have people come up to you afterward wiping their eyes and saying, “I haven’t laughed like that since my competitor was audited,” this is the only stop you need to make.

Here’s a partial list of the folks I’ve written for over the years, from Bill Murray to William Shatner, and more.
