About this listen

This program is read by the author, with contributions from Pamela Adlon and Gwen Rainbow.

"The production of the audiobook...is so rich with sound effects, additional voice actors and music."—The San Francisco Chronicle

"Tart, sassy, and hilariously funny from start to finish, Rainbow’s book offers laughter as a tonic for troubled times." —Kirkus Reviews

"A recommended purchase, perfect for listeners who appreciate sharp humor and social commentary. Whether looking for a quick laugh or an insightful take on current events, this book provides both in abundance.”—Library Journal

A new essay collection by adored comedian and New York Times bestseller Randy Rainbow

Randy Rainbow has a few things on his mind that he wants to talk about. As a savvy social commentator tuned into the public discourse, his unfailing intuition tells him that the perspective everyone in America is clamoring for is that of a privileged white male complaining about a bunch of shit. While writing his New York Times bestseller Playing With Myself, Randy saw an America in crisis. He knew that what the country needed to get back on its high heels was a hard-hitting gay agenda and here it is - Low Hanging Fruit - a book filled with sparkling whines, a few flutes of champagne problems and a Birkin bag of the most pressing issues facing the US, from dancing TikTok grandmas, to Elon Musk, the GOP, and Donald Jessica Trump.

On the down low, Randy dishes up some sex talk about life on the dating apps, Craigslist hookups and more. (“Gurl, wait till you hear the story about the fireman and the goggles...”) Randy’s longtime companion, the glamorous Chinchilla Silver Persian cat Tippi, makes an appearance as she dishes about her life Chez Randy. And, in the most highly anticipated sequel since Top Gun: Maverick, Randy continues the conversation with his mother, Gwen, because who knows better than the Jewish mother of a gay man about how to solve America’s problems? Randy Rainbow’s Low Hanging Fruit is a bold manifesto for a nation desperately in need of a makeover.

A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

Critic reviews

<p>Praise for <i>Low-Hanging Fruit:<br></i><br>"Tart, sassy, and hilariously funny from start to finish, Rainbow’s book offers laughter as a tonic for troubled times." — <i>Kirkus Reviews</i> <br><br> "Thanks to brilliant Randy Rainbow I laughed all the way through lockdown!" — Judi Dench<br><br>“Randy Rainbow is a wicked wit, an unparalleled musical master of parody and a national treasure, full stop. Every time I think he can't top himself, he does it AGAIN.” — Mark Hamill <br><br>Praise for <i>Playing With Myself:</i><br><br>“I was already a big fan of Randy’s commentary on American celebrity and culture. Always smart, always wickedly funny, with his tongue firmly planted in his cheek. I waited, as we all did, for his next target. Then he asked me to sing with him. His target, Donald Trump. Oh joy! I went to his apartment and met a shy, handsome young guy who just happens to have this enormous talent. It was a joyful two hours. I left his home with a huge smile and lots of swag. I wait patiently now, as we all do, for his next video that will make me laugh, make me feel not so alone in my thinking, make me wonder in awe at the audacious force of nature that is Randy Rainbow.” —Patti LuPone<br><br>“Discovering Randy is one of my happiest memories. I don’t toss around the word ‘genius’ often, but there’s no other word to describe him. After being in touch with each other, I’m thrilled to call him my friend. He’s as nice as he is talented. Wow.” —Carol Burnett<br><br>“Brilliant . . . as good as anyone writing lyrics today.” —Stephen Sondheim<br><br>“I fall in love with Randy Rainbow a little bit more with each new video. Brilliant! And that voice!” —RuPaul<br><br>“Randy Rainbow is so damn important.” —Lin Manuel Miranda<br><br>"A rollicking debut . . . packed with well-timed zingers . . . Rainbow's gift for striking a well-honed phrase will have readers cackling. Fans are sure to be heartened and tickled by this entertaining account." —<i>Publishers Weekly <br><br></i>"Buoyant and campy throughout, Rainbow’s revelations and lighthearted banter will entertain fans and newbies alike. A chatty autobiography brimming with heart and humor." —<i>Kirkus Reviews<br><br></i>"Filled with the kind of anecdotes that anyone raised on a steady diet of Sex and the City and Broadway musicals will eat up with a spoon, Rainbow's memoir is pure, indulgent fun. Fans of Rainbow (there are millions, and they include big-name celebs, presidential candidates, and Broadway superstars) will want this book immediately, as will anyone who enjoys a good, dishy celebrity memoir." — <i>Booklist</i> (starred)</p>
