Irby's professional achievement has propelled her to unprecedented heights.

Beneath her newfound glitz, Irby is only attempting to maintain her life as she has always known it.
Her diarrhea has returned, and her teeth are poisoning her from the inside out. After being turned away from a restaurant because of her unattractive clothing, she visits a therapist and takes Lexapro, receives Reiki healing, investigates the potential of crystals, and develops an addiction to QVC. Irby is once again the sympathetic, hilarious tonic we all need, making light of herself as she takes us on an incredibly entertaining tour of all the elements that make up a real depiction of her life.
