wise girl
by elyse delucci
IThere she was, a small girl thinking why Wise Guys in no Wise Girls? Elyse DeLucci -- former Wall Street executive and stand-up comedian (yes you read that right) - i-s here to tell you how to get ahead in your career and life. With her signature New York voice, this standup comedian, podcast host (New York Tawk with Elyse DeLucci) and viral social media personality, lays out the principles she learned from her loud New York Italian-American family.
These are The Rules she learned (sometimes the hard way) from her first job in a boiler room, to climbing the corporate ranks, to comedy stages across the country.
From Be Cool (Rule #1) because They Will Test You (#17) to Omertà The Code of Silence (#24), Wise Girl guides you through the shark tank of businesses, bosses, and co-workers... just remember to Slice Garlic Thin (#31).
As a woman in a male-dominated world, Elyse is here to tell you how to get through it: You Gotta Laugh (#32). You don't have to follow The Rules in Wise Girl, but you'll wish you had.

“Elyse Delucci’s WISE GIRL is truly funny. The only thing better than reading it, would bewould be having a beer with her while she tells you her stories. If the Mafia taught her about Comedy, I want to take that class!””
ROBERT FUNARO, The Sopranos
“Reading “Wise Girl” I thought of the Charlie Parker song ‘Bloomdido’. Elyse plays Jazz with her insightful stories. She exposes the ups and downs of her life, then manages to bring it all together with her style of humor. Served like we Italians love our pasta ‘AlDente’ baby!”

“Brutally honest, engaging and funny. What more could you want in a book?”
Adam Ferrara, Actor/Comedian
“I want to thank Elyse DeLucci for breaking the code of silence (Omertà rule 25) to write this book. She shares her totally relatable triumphs, failures, fears, anxieties and the wisdom that camefrom them. Wise Girl is a funny, heartfelt, field guide for seeing life as a journey and not a sentence.”

“Couldn’t put it down.”
