Comedian David Ahearn sets out on a life-changing experience as he joins his comedy group Four Day Weekend for an Armed Forces Entertainment tour for the United States military overseas.

David Acuff is a Hollywood insider, a military brat, a comic, a piano recital survivor, a BMW murderer, an offensive linebacker, a dog licker, a divorced TikToker, a father of three Jedi princesses, and possibly a child prodigy. He is also a semi-centurion. That's a word he made up when he turned 50 this year because "quinquagenarian" sounds like a horse disease or a Menudo song. And before he could move on to the next nifty fifty, he wanted to process how he'd lived, laughed, loved, and litigated along the way. So he wrote this semi-memoir. A semi-memie, let's call it.

33 consultas médicas para morirse… de risa (Volumen I) es un libro con muchas vidas. Cuando Juan Toral empezó a escribirlo, tenía como idea dar un pequeño tirón de orejas e intentar que las y los lectores se dieran cuenta de lo importante que es hacer un buen uso de los servicios de Urgencias. Y es que uno de los problemas de lo público es que el ciudadano piensa que es gratis, y los políticos que es suyo. Entre todos la mataron, y ella sola se murió. Es labor de todos hacer un uso responsable de los recursos sanitarios que, aunque parezcan infinitos, cada vez están más recortados.

At the start of 2021 Richard Herring was diagnosed with testicular cancer.
