He’s been on Conan and Chelsea Lately, and he even shot his very own special on Comedy Central. His memoir, Kasher in the Rye, is an alternately gut-busting and devastating journey from his early days in the “vaginaquarium” (his words) to young adulthood. Along the way, he racks up a $1,500 bill for calling phone sex operators in the Philippines, gets sent to a school for mentally disabled kids, and starts a street gang. Here, Kasher talks to The Fix about the book, his sobriety, and his feelings on masturbation.
