About this listen

“We would like to teach your species a type of orgasm that cures cancer.”

So say just some of the aliens and robots who appear in Inappropriately Human. Award-winning comedian Andrew Heaton brings wit and warmth to his vision of humanity, the supernatural, and bureaucrats in his debut short story collection.

Learn the pitfalls of settling resurrected Neanderthals in Detroit. Explore the work-life balance of a professional who assumes other people’s hangovers. Or the travails of a State Department diplomat posted to a planet with relentless boredom and allergies. Discover the challenges time-travel regulators face when everyone tries to kill Hitler.

Wonderful stories told well. Witty and intelligent. Buy this man another blazer. Or at least a waistcoat.

Heaton at his glorious best.

Not the best story compilation, but some stories are quite cool, and I liked them a lot.

Pretty decent

This collection of short stories is everything. It’s funny, heartfelt, heartbreaking, and really good sci fi. I never knew this intelligent comedian could also be such a brilliant author. Except for a tiny overlap in the whistler short story, the production was excellent. Heaton has a tonne of experience as a podcast host, a comedian, and some as an actor, all of which comes through in his reading of this audiobook. I thoroughly recommend this!

Thoroughly brilliant
