About this listen

Rob Delaney is a father, a husband, a comedian, a writer. He is the author of an endless stream of beautiful, insane jokes on Twitter. He is sober. He is sometimes brave. He speaks French. He has bungee-jumped off the Manhattan Bridge. He enjoys antagonizing political figures, powerful retailers and the Kardashians. He listens to metal while he works out. He broke into an abandoned mental hospital with his mother. He played Sir Lancelot in Camelot. He has battled depression. He is funny as s***. He cleans up well. He and Margaret Atwood have a thing going on Twitter. He is lucky to be alive.

Critic reviews

"Rob Delaney has done it again! Actually, this is his first book, so he has not 'done it again.' Actually, this book is so good, I doubt he will be able to do it again. He's peaked" (Judd Apatow)

"Warning: This book may cause involuntary seepage. Some funny, funny, funny, funny s*** from the most dangerous man on Twitter. The fact that he's just as funny in long form makes me want to vomit with envy" (Anthony Bourdain)

"All it takes to be as funny as Rob Delaney is luck, good timing, deep compassion, reckless imaginative agility, a flawless grasp of the inner workings of language, and criminally vast quantities of mojo. What a jerk" (Teju Cole, author of Open City)

Most relevant

I haven’t tried Audible before so maybe I would have enjoyed this more had I “read” it myself.
I kept waiting the whole time for the “laughs” but didn’t get them, as other reviews had advised, but maybe it’s not meant to be funny?!I love Catastrophe, it’s really well written & acted, so maybe RD has perfected his craft of writing more since this book was written.
He just seems to be trying too hard all the time to be “funny”.
In summary, I don’t really get this book at all but it was ok for a free trial on Audible.

Loved this book and performance, well written with a great balance of grit and comedy. The author, and narrator, is really likeable I wish I could have him over for dinner!

Hilarious, deep, brilliant
