About this listen

From visionary creator Kenya Barris (beloved TV sitcom Black-ish and the podcast Unusual Suspects). Starring comedy legends Jenifer Lewis, Cedric the Entertainer, and Niecy Nash-Betts, Big Age follows recently retired couple Dot and Butch Watts' reluctant relocation to their new Floridian home, Sunset Gardens, a senior community that is anything but relaxing.

In Barris' retirement community, Dot and Butch encounter a parade of unforgettable personalities pushing their fifty-year marriage to the limit. There's Ethel (Nash-Betts), Butch's flirtatious ex-flame; spiritually possessed neighbors; pesky pill-pushing couples; and the ferociously competitive Stevenator.

Through its blend of outrageous comedy (key party, anyone?) and touching revelations, Big Age explores what it means to grow older without growing old at heart. As the Watts learn to embrace their quirky new world, they discover that senior living can be delightfully thrilling—if you let it. Crank up the volume and buckle in; growing old is not for the faint of heart.

Such a funny but heartfelt story about this sassy older women finding her way anew and the people who love her. The intrigue and gossip and plotting … it doesn’t stop because of old age. Such a nice warming read ❤️

This has got got to be my best read yet 😂😂😂😂 what a brilliant listen I smashed it today doing my house work I have never laughed and cried so much, when I was reading the reviews someone said it should be a series, Hell Yes like minded people like us will love it, it is fantastic and so relatable, I’m not ready to go there yet myself but I wanted to be there, part of that gang, and the keys in the hat well 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 just brilliant, if there is a care home in England like that I’m going, to right, a little weed at their age, bring it on 😂😂😂😂.
Please may I audition for a part I’m sure I can play the daughter 🙏🏾🫶🏾✊🏾just brilliant wish I could give it more than 5 stars.
