Comedian and severe dyslexic Phil Hanley reveals his unlikely path to success in a story that is equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking.
When Phil Hanley was in first grade, he realized something that would forever set him apart from his peers: he couldnt read. His teachers were ill-equipped to assist him, and he slipped through the schools cracks, year by year falling further and further behind his friends. Finally, he was diagnosed with dyslexia, a learning disability that would shape the rest of his life.
Unable to pursue college or a traditional job, Phil was thrust into a life defined by unconventional twists, including a stint as a runway model in Europe. Eventually, he found himself on a stage with a microphone, a spotlight, and five minutes of jokes. Unlike so many previous pursuits, stand-up felt right to Phil, and he soon discovered that the more he worked at it, the more he got out of ita realization that, he compellingly argues, saved his life. Spellbound is a story of humor and also of struggle and heartbreak, of constantly living in a world that sees things differently than you do, and of triumph over adversity.
Phil shows us that dyslexia can be a huge challenge, but it doesnt spell certain condemnation (and neither can he). Just the opposite: dyslexia has been more than a blessing in his lifeits been his North Star.
