There are how-to books on everything, especially self-help. If most of them worked there wouldn't be the demand to publish even more. Downstairs Cabaret Theater's Self-Help: The Comedy, pokes fun at our seeming never-ending quest for self-perfection and everlasting, giddy bliss. Learn some offbeat meditations, exercises, and affirmations to help you better navigate life's dirty puddles --- or perhaps encourage you to play in them instead.
