RISK! Book Featuring Michael Ian Black, Marc Maron, Aisha Tyler & More, Book Tour & Live Shows with Kevin Allison This Summer

The award winning storytelling show and podcast RISK! is coming this summer in book form with a book tour and live shows across the U.S. to follow. RISK!: True Stories People Never Thought They'd Dare To Share features the most celebrated stories from the hit podcast and live show plus some all-new true tales about explosive secrets and off-the-wall adventures we experience in life but rarely talk about. It's a diverse collection of uncensored, confessional, and at times outrageously funny personal stories from RISK! creator Kevin Allison, Michael Ian Black, Marc Maron, Aisha Tyler, Dan Savage, Lili Taylor and many more. Of the book, John Hodgman says, "These stories will move you to get outside and share your wildest truths". RISK!: True Stories People Never Thought They'd Dare To Share will be released July 17 (Hachette). Pre-orders available HERE
