Comedy Sex God

Pete Holmes is a sold-out-every-night standup comedian with two HBO specials and the host of the hugely popular podcast You Made It Weird, and he was the creator-star of the hit HBO show Crashing. But it wasn’t always roses for Pete. Growing up, Pete was raised Christian—but his religion taught him that being “bad”—smoking, drinking, having doubts, or premarital sex—would get him sent to an eternity in hell. So, terrified of the God he loved, Pete devoted his life to being “good,” even marrying his first girlfriend at the age of twenty-two only to discover a few years later that she was cheating on him.
