had spent most of his life in politics, primarily working for the Republican Party. In fact, he was considered a political golden boy until his career is forever tarnished. While managing a governor's re-election campaign, a right-wing opposing candidate unceremoniously OUTs him and he quickly spirals from the top echelons of the GOP to selling underwear at a high-end department store in Sheboygan, WI. Seriously!

Going from his comfortable closet to the retail world, Mike never expected the crazy drama he would encounter. From hoity-toity Sheboygan shoppers to crafty shoplifters, religious fanatics, screaming kids, racists, entitled "Karens," and drag queens to an evil store manager and her slimy sidekick, a co-worker who thinks she's an African queen and vicious coworkers scrapping over a whopping 1% commission-you just can't make this $#!+ up! And Mike takes it all on with satiric flair while revealing his struggle with coming out, coping with the aftermath of the AIDs epidemic and finding true friends in unlikely places.

Based on true experiences, Seriously, You Can't Make This $#!+ Up! is just as laugh-out-loud fun as it is undeniably heartwarming.
