Subtitle: Good Times, Bad TimesOur Times - A Memoir Author: Jimmie Walker Narrator: Jimmie Walker Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 52 mins Language: English Release date: 06-26-12 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 16 votes Genres: Comedy, Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Born into the violence of South Bronx ghetto life, the comic pioneer of TVs Good Times fame offers a hilarious and politically charged review of his career as one of televisions first hugely successful Black stars. From opening for the Black Panthers and getting his first Tonight Show spot to becoming the first Black TV sitcom star, having comedians David Letterman and Jay Leno writing jokes for him, recording number-one comedy albums, and opening for rock n roll bands in 50,000 seat stadiums, Walkers career hit all the highs. Of course, celebrities seldom stay at such highs. But despite going from the cover of TV Guide to becoming a journeyman comedian, Walkers story is one of courage and unbridled belief in oneself. He never crashed and burned like so many in his profession - notably fellow comedians like Richard Pryor and Freddie Prinze. Instead, he kept at his profession through 300 comedy gigs per year, remembering where he came from and where hard work had got him. He developed a view of the world through a conservative social lens, and as a black man in the entertainment industry he surprised many - and pissed off others with his conservative views. In his stand-up routine in 1974, Jimmy frequently told this joke: I think pretty soon there is going to be a black President. Inaugural theme be playing the 'Theme From Shaft'. Prez pulls up - white El Dorado, white bucket seats, bubble top. Prez gets out, tilts his beaver skin hat to the side, braids flowing down his shoulders, looks at the crowd and says, Ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters, I am very happy to be elected President of these great United States. But moreover, I am even happier to be elected the first black President of these great United States. Right now, Id like to give you the Inaugural Address but firstthe number for today: 7-5-6. You got it? Then you the vice president! It's 2011. We now have President Barack Obama. Yet Jimmy Walker - ever the outspoken contrarian - recently escorted conservative columnist Ann Coulter to an awards ceremony. Walker is a frequent guest on Letterman and The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson. And J.J. Evans "Dyn-o-mite! endures - and was recently voted by People magazine as one of The Greatest Moments In Pop Culture, 1974-2011.

Title: When You Ride Alone You Ride with bin Laden Subtitle: What the Government Should Be Telling Us to Help Fight the War on Terrorism Author: Bill Maher Narrator: Bill Maher Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs Language: English Release date: 11-08-02 Publisher: Phoenix Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 396 votes Genres: Comedy, Memoirs Publisher's Summary: "Bill Maher has inherited the mantle of Mark Twain and Jonathan Swift and he wears it with aplomb. If he were living in any other time or in one of many other countries he would truly be in danger of being put to death for his legendary ability to say the unthinkable and say it better (and before) anyone else. When You Ride Alone You Ride with bin Laden is destined to be the most talked-about book of the year." - Larry King "Bill Maher rides alone daily but it is a hilarious, incisive trip. Maher versus bin Laden? Take Bill, give the points!" - Bill O'Reilly "Bill Maher has the courage to speak his mind - no matter what the consequences - something you can't say about most people these days. And he's damn funny! Now, more than ever, the country needs his outrage. Agree or disagree with him, there is no question that what he has written in this book should be front and center in the great national debate and I, for one, am thrilled that this cantankerous s.o.b. is still there doing battle for the republic we all love." - Michael Moore "Bill Maher loves America, hates conventional thinking, and, despite his curmudgeonly image, has a heart of gold. In the war on terrorism, we could use a little less tolerance and sensitivity and a little more manly anger. In this book, Bill leads the way hilariously." - Ann Coulter Critic Reviews: "Refreshing in an age dominated by irony and cynicism." (Publishers Weekly)

Title: I Can't Make This Up Subtitle: Life Lessons Author: Neil Strauss - contributor, Kevin Hart Narrator: Kevin Hart Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 06-06-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 22669 votes Genres: Comedy, Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Superstar comedian and Hollywood box-office star Kevin Hart turns his immense talent to the written word by writing some words. Some of those words include: the, a, for, above, and even even. Put them together and you have the funniest, most heartfelt, and most inspirational memoir on survival, success, and the importance of believing in yourself since Old Yeller. It begins in North Philadelphia. He was born an accident, unwanted by his parents. His father was a drug addict who was in and out of jail. His brother was a crack dealer and petty thief. And his mother was overwhelmingly strict, beating him with belts, frying pans, and his own toys. The odds, in short, were stacked against our young hero, just like the odds that are stacked against the release of a new book in this era of social media (where Hart has a following of over 100 million, by the way). But Kevin Hart, like Ernest Hemingway, J.K. Rowling, and Chocolate Droppa before him, was able to defy the odds and turn it around. In his literary debut, he takes the listener on a journey through what his life was, what it is today, and how he's overcome each challenge to become the man he is today. And that man happens to be the biggest comedian in the world, with tours that sell out football stadiums and films that have collectively grossed over $3.5 billion. He achieved this not just through hard work, determination, and talent: It was through his unique way of looking at the world. Because just like a book has chapters, Hart sees life as a collection of chapters that each person gets to write for himself or herself. "Not only do you get to choose how you interpret each chapter, but your interpretation writes the next chapter," he says. "So why not choose the interpretation that serves your life the best?" Editorial Reviews: "In I Cant Make This Up: Life Lessons, Kevin Hart shares his memoir in a way only he can, showcasing the charisma, personality, and talent that made him one of the most popular entertainers in the planet. This is a true rags to riches story but its more than that: its also a blueprint for how to become your best self, and a demonstration of how perspective can triumph even the most challenging circumstances. Ive had the pleasure of reading this twice (work perks!) once in print, and then in audio and while both left an indelible imprint, listening was a completely immersive and exceedingly powerful experience. Committing 150% to every moment from the epic, ad-libbed pre-introduction down to the chapter headings Kevin takes us on a highly personal, no-holds-barred journey filled with heartbreak, inspiration and hilarity. Add continuous "off-script" asides and anecdotes, and youve got one of the must-listen audiobooks of the year or any year, for that matter." -- Jess, Audible Editor "While I was thrilled to learn that Kevin Hart would be narrating his own memoir, it wasnt until I had the privilege of attending a recording session that I became out-of-my-mind ecstatic. There are rare instances in which a performance not only transcends the words on the page, but actually defines how the story should be told and experienced. This is one of them. With great skill, good-natured humor and disarming honesty, Mr. Hart shares all the ups, downs, and arounds of his life (so far), accompanied by some lessons hes learned along the way.

Williams Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 01-18-18 Publisher: Castalia House Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Comedy, Memoirs Publisher's Summary: LawDog had the honor of representing law and order in the Texas town of Bugscuffle as a sheriff's deputy, where he became notorious for, among other things, the famous Case of the Pink Gorilla Suit. In The LawDog Files, he chronicles his official encounters with everything from naked bikers, combative eco-warriors, suicidal drunks, respectful methheads, prison tattoo artists, and creepy children to six-foot chickens and lethal chihuahuas. The LawDog Files range from the bittersweet to the explosively hilarious, as LawDog relates his unforgettable experiences in a laconic, self-deprecating manner that is funny in its own right. The audiobook is more than mere entertainment, it is an education in two English dialects, Police and Texas Country. And underlying the humor is an unmistakable sympathy for society's less fortunate - and in most cases, significantly less intelligent - whose encounters with the law are an all-too-frequent affair.

Title: The Diary of Two Nobodies Author: Mary Killen, Giles Wood Narrator: Mary Killen, Giles Wood Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 11-02-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Comedy, Memoirs Publisher's Summary: What is life for Gogglebox's Giles and Mary outside the willow-patterned cocoon?

Accompanying this diary, is a candid and amusing Audible Sessions interview with Giles and Mary, in which they discuss how they made it onto Gogglebox, what the most annoying things about each other are, and why 'nutty' is their go-to term of endearment.

Title: A Futile and Stupid Gesture Subtitle: How Doug Kenney and National Lampoon Changed Comedy Forever Author: Josh Karp Narrator: Chris Lutkin Format: Unabridged Length: 15 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 10-30-17 Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Comedy, Memoirs Publisher's Summary: This ultimate biography of National Lampoon and its cofounder Doug Kenney offers the first complete history of the immensely popular magazine and its brilliant and eccentric characters. Relying on wonderful stories about the comedy scene in New York City in the 1970s and National Lampoon's place at the center of it, author Josh Karp chronicles how the magazine spawned a popular radio show and two long-running theatrical productions that helped launch the careers of John Belushi, Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, and Gilda Radner and that went on to inspire Saturday Night Live. That history along with interviews conducted with more than 130 people connected to Kenney and the magazine - including Chevy Chase, John Hughes, P. J. O'Rourke, Tony Hendra, Sean Kelly, Chris Miller, and Bruce McCall - and behind-the-scenes stories about the making of Animal House and Caddyshack help to capture the nostalgia, humor, and popular culture that National Lampoon still inspires.

Title: Vacationland Subtitle: True Stories from Painful Beaches Author: John Hodgman Narrator: John Hodgman Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 10-24-17 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 801 votes Genres: Comedy, Memoirs Publisher's Summary: John Hodgman - New York Times best-selling author, semifamous personality, deranged millionaire, increasingly elderly husband, father, and human of Earth - has written a memoir about his cursed travels through two wildernesses: from the woods of his home in Massachusetts, birthplace of rage, to his exile on the coast of Maine, so-called Vacationland, home to the most painful beaches on Earth. Vacationland is also about Hodgman's wandering in the metaphoric wilderness of his 40s, those years when dudes especially must painfully stop pretending to be the children of bright potential they were and settle into the failing bodies of the wiser, weirder dads that they are. Other subjects covered include the horror of freshwater clams, the evolutionary purpose of the mustache, which animals to keep as pets and which to kill with traps and poison, and advice on how to react when the people of coastal Maine try to sacrifice you to their strange god. After three best-selling books of fake facts, Hodgman is finally ready to tell the truth - in the same outlandish, audacious, and inimitable style that has won him fans in every medium he has worked: books, stage, social media, television, and movies.

Title: Everything Is Awful Subtitle: And Other Observations Author: Matt Bellassai Narrator: Matt Bellassai Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 15 mins Language: English Release date: 10-24-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 268 votes Genres: Comedy, Memoirs Publisher's Summary: From the break-out star of BuzzFeed and the People's Choice Award-winning comedian behind the web series Whine About It and To Be Honest comes a collection of hilariously anguished essays chronicling awful moments from his life so far, the humiliations of being an adult, and other little indignities. Matt Bellassai has no idea what he's doing. Well, to be fair, he did become semi-Internet famous by getting drunk at work, making him a socially-acceptable - nay - professional alcoholic. He's got some things figured out. But the rest is all just a terrible, disgusting mess. This is Matt's book. Just to clarify, though, it is absolutely not a memoir; Matt is far too young to have done anything worth remembering (though he did win an actual People's Choice Award for his BuzzFeed web series, Whine About It, which is pretty good, if you ask his mother). This is also most certainly not a book of advice; he is too woefully ill-prepared for life to offer anything in the way of counsel (though that won't stop him from talking). Call this a collection of awful moments that led to his grumbling, blundering adulthood - a chronicle of little indignities that, when taken together, amount to a life of hilarious anguish. With keen wit and plenty of self-deprecation, Matt reveals how hard it is to shed his past as the Midwest's biggest nerd, that one time a taquito nearly murdered him at his brother's surprise birthday party, and the time he came out to his friends and family (the closet was a bit messy). Matt also wrestles with the humiliations of adulthood, like giving up on love in New York City, living alone with no one to heat his microwave dinners, and combating the inner voice that tells him to say aloud all the things the rest of us are smart enough to keep to ourselves. You probably don't need this book, but, let's be honest - you do. Since you're already here, you might as well pull up a chair, grab your glass(es) of wine, and enjoy.

Title: See Ya Later Subtitle: The World According to Arron Crascall Author: Arron Crascall Narrator: Arron Crascall Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 10-19-17 Publisher: Orion Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Comedy, Memoirs Publisher's Summary: A hilarious window into the world of comedian and social-media star Arron Crascall, as he embarks on a life-changing journey of discovering what truly makes him happy.

Title: Hitler Saved My Life Author: Jim Riswold Narrator: Jeffrey Kafer Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 09-26-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Comedy, Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Warning: This book makes jokes about the Third Reich, the Reign of Terror, World War I, cancer, Millard Fillmore, and Chernobyl. Advertising legend Jim Riswold is a big f---ing deal. Ask him, he'll tell you. But when Riswold is stricken with leukemia and prostate cancer (a two-fer!), the freewheeling adman quits making commercials and starts making art. But not just any art - Hitler art. Mussolini art. Stalin-in-a-bathtub art. This is not a sad cancer story. This is a molotov cocktail of raunch and heart and 18-gauge biopsy guns. This is a taboo-busting laugh riot, a raspberry blown straight at dying-guy preciousness and monsters of all kinds - cancer and world-historical bad guys included. Be warned - contents of this book include: Relentlessly funny and scorchingly subversive, this is a bruised and bruising memoir - it is also tubed, scarred, stapled, and irradiated. But here's the secret: Jim Riswold, enfant terrible, the man Charles Barkley once called "a role model for morons", is kind of a sweetheart. The wise-guy posturing is just a cover for his pulpy heart. Another secret: This book isn't about Hitler. It's about the beautiful, stupid, gross, foolish, and fantastic things we're willing to do for love and family and not-dying. It's about a guy who, with due respect to Lou Gehrig, considers himself the luckiest man on the face of the earth. Really, Jim Riswold owes cancer a thank you. Thanks to cancer, his tombstone will no longer read: Here Lies That Guy Who Did That "Bo Knows" Commercial. Now, it will say Here Lies the Guy Who Put Cancer in Its Place - and Mussolini on a Tricycle.

Title: Dear Fahrenheit 451 Subtitle: Love and Heartbreak in the Stacks Author: Annie Spence Narrator: Stephanie Spicer Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 35 mins Language: English Release date: 09-26-17 Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: Comedy, Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Librarians spend their lives weeding - not weeds, but books - books that have reached the end of their shelf life both literally and figuratively. They remove books that patrons no longer check out, and they put back books they treasure.

In Dear Fahrenheit 451, she addresses those books directly. We hear her love letters to The Goldfinch and Matilda as well as her snarky break-ups with 50 Shades of Grey and Dear John.

Hilarious, compassionate, and wise, Dear Fahrenheit 451 is the consummate book-lover's birthday present, stocking stuffer, holiday gift, and all-purpose humor book.

Subtitle: Reflections on Life and Other Bad Ideas Author: Jenny Allen Narrator: Jenny Allen Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 06-06-17 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 13 votes Genres: Comedy, Memoirs Publisher's Summary: In Would Everybody Please Stop?, a collection of first-person essays and humor pieces, Jenny Allen asks the tough questions: Why do people say "it is what it is"? What's the point of fat-free half-and-half? Why don't the women detectives on TV carry purses, and where are we supposed to think they keep all their stuff? And haven't we heard enough about memes? Reporting from the potholes midway through life's journey, Allen addresses these and other more serious matters, like the rude awakenings of being single after 25 years, of mothering a teenager, and of living with a serious illness. She also discusses life's everyday trials, like the horrors of attempting a crafts project, the anxieties of being a houseguest, and the ever-changing rules of recycling. Allen is a performer at heart - her one-woman show I Got Sick Then I Got Better premiered in 2009, and she regularly acts in other plays - and she brings that same spirit to these 35 short essays, which sound like the work of a female Dave Barry. Writing on places both real (like a swag den for celebrities at Sundance and the parking lot at L.L. Bean's flagship store) and imaginary (a Buddhist retreat attended by Martha Stewart, Elmer Fudd's psychotherapy appointment), Allen's wit and compassion give a fresh slant on the vicissitudes of day-to-day and not so day-to-day life. Critic Reviews: "One of the funniest writers in America." (Andy Borowitz)

With We Are Never Meeting in Real Life., "bitches gotta eat" blogger and comedian Samantha Irby turns the serio-comic essay into an art form. Whether talking about how her difficult childhood has led to a problem in making "adult" budgets, explaining why she should be the new Bachelorette - she's "35-ish, but could easily pass for 60-something" - detailing a disastrous pilgrimage-slash-romantic-vacation to Nashville to scatter her estranged father's ashes, sharing awkward sexual encounters, or dispensing advice on how to navigate friendships with former drinking buddies who are now suburban moms - hang in there for the Costco loot - she's as deft at poking fun at the ghosts of her past self as she is at capturing powerful emotional truths.

Kamau Bell Subtitle: Tales of a 6' 4", African American, Heterosexual, Cisgender, Left-Leaning, Asthmatic, Black and Proud Blerd, Mama's Boy, Dad, and Stand-Up Comedian Author: W. Kamau Bell Narrator: W. Kamau Bell Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 31 mins Language: English Release date: 05-02-17 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 617 votes Genres: Comedy, Memoirs Publisher's Summary: You may know W. Kamau Bell from his new Emmy-nominated hit show on CNN, United Shades of America. Or maybe you've read about him in The New York Times, which called him "the most promising new talent in political comedy in many years." Or maybe from The New Yorker fawning over his brand of humor writing: "Bell's gimmick is intersectional progressivism: he treats racial, gay, and women's issues as inseparable." After all this love and praise, it's time for the next step: a book. The Awkward Thoughts of W. Kamau Bell is a humorous, well-informed take on the world today, tackling a wide range of issues, such as race relations; fatherhood; the state of law enforcement today; comedians and superheroes; right-wing politics; left-wing politics; failure; his interracial marriage; white men; his upbringing by very strong-willed, race-conscious, yet ideologically opposite parents; his early days struggling to find his comedic voice, then his later days struggling to find his comedic voice; why he never seemed to fit in with the black comedy scene...or the white comedy scene; how he was a black nerd way before that became a thing; how it took his wife and an East Bay lesbian to teach him that racism and sexism often walk hand in hand; and much, much more. Critic Reviews: "Although the text version is an interesting, if curiously structured, work, the audiobook allows Bell a more apt platform for his offbeat intelligence and idiosyncratic voice. The experience of listening to the text, which clocks in at 10 hours and 31 minutes, is like being the sole patron in a comedy club while Bell performs a marathon stand-up routine.... [T]he audiobook allows a listener to hear the jokes as they were meant to be delivered." (The New York Times Book Review)

Title: Wherever You Go, There They Are Subtitle: Stories About My Family You Might Relate To Author: Annabelle Gurwitch Narrator: Annabelle Gurwitch Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 04-18-17 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 20 votes Genres: Comedy, Memoirs Publisher's Summary: A hysterically funny and slyly insightful new collection of essays from New York Times best-selling author Annabelle Gurwitch, about her own family of scam artists and hucksters as well as the sisterhoods, temporary tribes, and show-biz klatches who have become surrogates along the way. When Annabelle Gurwitch was a child, surrounded by a cast of epically dysfunctional relatives, she secretly prayed that it was all a terrible mistake. Maybe she was a long-lost daughter of Joni Mitchell or a reincarnation of the Russian princess Anastasia. A family of bootleggers, gamblers, and philanderers, the Gurwitches have always been a bit vague on the standard ideal of a loving and supportive family. Their definition includes people you can count on to borrow money from, hold a grudge against, or blackmail. One day, unfortunately, Gurwitch woke up to realize that she'd made similar, if not the same, mistakes as everyone else before her - just in a new zip code. Wherever she went, there they were. With her wry wit and hard-learned wisdom, Gurwitch explores the inescapable yet rewarding realities of life with her relatives and her Southern Jewish roots as well as her flirtation with surrogate families including theater folk, pet people, the secular humanist brotherhood, a tribe of vegan cosplaying plushies, the "Arbonne sisterhood", and the ladies who brunch at Tel Aviv Gardens Retirement Home in Miami, Florida. She's learned that for better or for worse (you can guess which), it's worth celebrating the traditions, rituals, and recipes that come with a shared mythology and legacy, even if her own inheritance amounts to a small plot of land split between five relatives on an ill-fated sliver of sand known as Massacre Island. Beautifully written, and filled with surreal yet poignant family moments and social commentary, Gurwitch delivers a provocative treatise on the importance and insanity of family. Wherever You Go, There They Are is a must-listen for anyone who's even occasionally been frustrated by the people they share carbohydrate-laden meals with every year.

Title: My Adventures with God Author: Stephen Tobolowsky Narrator: Stephen Tobolowsky Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 04-18-17 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 64 votes Genres: Comedy, Memoirs Publisher's Summary: From legendary character actor Stephen Tobolowsky - who currently appears on The Goldbergs, HBO's Silicon Valley, and Norman Lear's new One Day at a Time, author of The Dangerous Animals Club and The Tobolowsky Files podcast - My Adventures with God is a funny, introspective collection about love, catastrophe, and triumph, all told through the lens of his evolving relationship with the mystery that is "God". As Tobolowsky explains, "It's hard to believe in nothing. Even cats believe in suppertime. As much as we love certainty, we are often shaped by the invisible, the unexplainable - something we call faith. We are inclined to acknowledge the holy. Even if it is only a paper heart we find in an old suitcase." My Adventures with God is a series of short stories exploring the idea that most people's lives seem to fit into the template of the Old Testament. We all have powerful creation myths: tales of our childhood and family, our first battles won and lost. It is our Genesis. Then, like in the Book of Exodus, we go into slavery. Rather than building pyramids, we lose ourselves in fear and ambition - in first loves, first jobs, too many dreams mixed with too much beer. We eventually become free, only to wander in the wilderness. At some point we stop and proclaim to the universe who we are. This is our Leviticus moment. We reconcile what we thought we would be with what we have become. We often attempt a mid-course correction. Then, as in the Book of Numbers, we are shaped by mortality as we bear the loss of family and friends. Finally, we retell our stories to our children hoping to make sense of the journey, as Moses did in Deuteronomy. Tobolowsky's stories tell of a boy growing up in the wilds of Texas, finding and losing love, losing and finding himself - all told through the prism of the Torah and Talmud, mixed with insights from science, and refined through a child's sense of wonder. My Adventures with God not only shines a light into the life of one of America's most beloved actors, but also provides a structure to evaluate our own lives and relationship with God.

Title: The Real Estate Rookie Subtitle: A Fun, Sometimes Absurd, Uplifting Story for Anyone Who Owns, Sells, Buys, Rents, Builds or Who Has Even Driven by Real Estate Author: Bob Boog Narrator: Bob Boog Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 04-13-17 Publisher: THS International Genres: Comedy, Memoirs Publisher's Summary: When Bob Boog finally escaped his family home and the constant chatter about real estate, it was to attend UCLA on a merit scholarship. Finally, he thought, he was free from a business he had no desire to be a part of. But on one of his frequent "laundry visits" to the family home, he was suddenly presented with a ticket for a real estate seminar and felt compelled to attend. It was something which changed his opinions, his plans for the future and his life. Inspired by the words of real estate guru Tom Hopkins, Bob decided to get his license and studied harder for the exam than he did for some of the ones on his course, passing it on his first attempt. And then, armed with this new-found ability and a desire to become the "rookie of the year", he entered the world he had sworn he never would. The Real Estate Rookie is the often ridiculous, sometimes absurd, and always hilarious account of his journey from someone who would cringe at the very mention of real estate, to one who lived and breathed every moment of it.

Title: The Actual One Subtitle: How I Tried, and Failed, to Avoid Adulthood Forever Author: Isy Suttie Narrator: Isy Suttie Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 52 mins Language: English Release date: 01-31-17 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Comedy, Memoirs Publisher's Summary: A hilarious, razor-sharp debut memoir about the moment when you realize that your friends have all grown up and left you behind, for listeners of Caitlin Moran's How to Be a Woman, Jenny Lawson's Let's Pretend This Never Happened, and Kelly Williams Brown's Adulting. Isy Suttie wakes up one day in her late 20s to discover that the deal she'd struck with her friends, to put off growing up for as long as possible, had been entirely in her head. Everyone around her is suddenly into mortgages, farmers' markets, and going off the pill rather than running naked into the sea or getting hammered in a country pub with 80-year-old men. After a particularly crushing breakup precipitated by Isy's gifting of a human-size papier-mâché penguin to her boyfriend, her dearest friend advises Isy not to worry: the next guy she meets will be The Actual One. Heartened by this promise, Isy decides to keep delaying the onset of adulthood, whether that means standing on the side of a highway in nothing but an old fur coat and sneakers, dating a man who speaks only in rhyme, or conquering her fears of Alpine skiing by wildly overestimating her athletic ability. Insightful and laugh-out-loud funny, The Actual One is an ode to the confusing wilderness of your late 20s alongside a quest for a genuinely good relationship - or, at the very least, a good story to tell.

Title: How to Talk Dirty and Influence People Subtitle: An Autobiography Author: Lenny Bruce, Lewis Black - preface, Howard Reich - foreword Narrator: Ronnie Marmo Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 12-06-16 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 31 votes Genres: Comedy, Memoirs Publisher's Summary: During the course of a career that began in the 1940s, Lenny Bruce challenged the sanctity of organized religion and other societal and political conventions and widened the boundaries of free speech. Critic Ralph Gleason said, "So many taboos have been lifted, and so many comics have rushed through the doors Lenny opened. He utterly changed the world of comedy." He died in 1966 at the age of 40, his influence on the worlds of comedy, jazz, and satire incalculable, and How to Talk Dirty and Influence People - now republished to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Lenny Bruce's death - remains a brilliant existential account of his life and the forces that made him the most important and controversial entertainer in history.

(Ilana Glazer, cocreator and costar of Broad City) A hilarious and timely essay collection about race, gender, and pop culture from upcoming comedy superstar and 2 Dope Queens podcaster Phoebe Robinson Being a black woman in America means contending with old prejudices and fresh absurdities every day. Comedian Phoebe Robinson has experienced her fair share over the years: She's been unceremoniously relegated to the role of "the black friend", as if she is somehow the authority on all things racial; she's been questioned about her love of U2 and Billy Joel ("isn't that...white people music?"); she's been called "uppity" for having an opinion in the workplace; she's been followed around stores by security guards; and yes, people do ask her whether they can touch her hair all. The. Time. Now she's ready to take these topics to audio - and she's going to make you laugh as she's doing it. Using her trademark wit alongside pop-culture references galore, Robinson explores everything from why Lisa Bonet is "Queen. Bae. Jesus" to breaking down the terrible nature of casting calls to giving her less-than-traditional advice to the future female president and demanding that the NFL clean up its act, all told in the same conversational voice that launched her podcast, 2 Dope Queens, to the top spot on iTunes. As personal as it is political, You Can't Touch My Hair examines our cultural climate and skewers our biases with humor and heart, announcing Robinson as a writer on the rise.

Title: Based on a True Story Subtitle: A Memoir Author: Norm Macdonald Narrator: Tim O'Halloran, Norm Macdonald Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 09-20-16 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2202 votes Genres: Comedy, Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Wild, dangerous, and flat-out unbelievable, here is the incredible memoir of the actor, gambler, raconteur, and SNL veteran and one of the best stand-up comedians of all time. As this book's title suggests, Norm Macdonald tells the story of his life - more or less - from his origins on a farm in the-back-of-beyond Canada and an epically disastrous appearance on Star Search to his account of auditioning for Lorne Michaels and his memorable run as the anchor of Weekend Update on Saturday Night Live - until he was fired because a corporate executive didn't think he was funny. But Based on a True Story is much more than a memoir; it's the hilarious, inspired epic of Norm's life. In dispatches from a road trip to Las Vegas (part of a plan hatched to regain the fortune he'd lost to sports betting and other vices) with his sidekick and enabler, Adam Eget, Norm recounts the milestone moments, the regrets, the love affairs, the times fortune smiled on his life, and the times it refused to smile. As the clock ticks down, Norm's debt reaches record heights, and he must find a way to evade the hefty price that's been placed on his head by one of the most dangerous loan sharks in the country. As a comedy legend should, Norm peppers these minutes with classic jokes and fondly mythologized Hollywood stories. This wildly adventurous, totally original, and absurdly funny saga turns the conventional comic's memoir on its head and gives the listener an exclusive pass into the mad, glorious mind of Norm Macdonald. Critic Reviews: "Norm is one of my all-time favorites, and this book was such a great read I forgot how lonely I was for a while." (Amy Schumer) "I always thought Normie's stand-up was the funniest thing there was. But this book gives it a run for its money." (Adam Sandler) "Norm only has to grunt to make me laugh. And this book is three hundred pages? Sign me up." (Sophia Amoruso, author of #GIRLBOSS)

It's like having a glass of wine with the best friend you wish you had' (Amy Schumer) As both a tomboy and a late bloomer, comedian Jessi Klein grew up feeling more like an outsider than a participant in the rites of modern femininity. In You'll Grow Out of It, Klein offers - through an incisive collection of real-life stories - a relentlessly funny yet poignant take on a variety of topics she has experienced along her strange journey to womanhood and beyond. These include her "transformation from Pippi Longstocking-esque tomboy to are-you-a-lesbian-or-what tom man", attempting to find watchable porn, and identifying the difference between being called 'ma'am' and 'miss' ('Miss sounds like you weigh ninety-nine pounds'). Raw, relatable, and consistently hilarious, You'll Grow Out of It is a one-of-a-kind book by a singular and irresistible comic voice.

Title: Almost Black Subtitle: The True Story of How I Got into Medical School by Pretending to Be Black Author: Vijay Jojo Chokal-Ingam, Matthew Scott Hansen Narrator: Spencer Cannon Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 09-12-16 Publisher: V & O Consulting, LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Comedy, Memoirs Publisher's Summary: I got into medical school by saying I was black. I lied. Honestly, I am about as black as my sister Mindy Kaling. Once upon a time, I was an ethically challenged, hard-partying Indian-American frat boy enjoying my third year of college. That is until I realized I didn't have the grades or test scores to get into medical school. Legitimately. Still, I was determined to be a doctor and discovered that affirmative action provided a loophole that might help. The only problem? I wasn't a minority. So I became one. I shaved my head, trimmed my long Indian eyelashes, and applied as an African American. Not even my own frat brothers recognized me. I joined the Organization of Black Students and used my middle name, Jojo. Vijay, the Indian American frat boy, became Jojo, the African American affirmative action applicant. Not everything went as planned. During a med school interview, an African American doctor angrily confronted me for not being black. Cops harassed me. Store clerks accused me of shoplifting. Women were either scared of me or found my bald black dude look sexually mesmerizing. What started as a scam to get into med school turned into a twisted social experiment, teaching me lessons I would never have learned in the classroom. I became a serious contender at some of America's greatest schools, including Harvard University, Washington University, University of Pennsylvania, Case Western Reserve University, George Washington University, University of Pittsburgh, Yale University, University of Rochester, University of Nebraska Omaha, and Columbia University. I interviewed at 11 schools while posing as a black man. After all that, I finally got accepted into medical school. Critic Reviews: "Mindy Kaling's brother is a cool prankster upsetting the status quo." (Gawker) "This sounds like it's straight out of a sitcom!" (Perez Hilton) "Vijay Chokal-Ingam, the brother of writer and actress Mindy Kaling, has sparked controversy with his new book." (NBC News)

Title: 2.5 Minute Ride Author: Lisa Kron Narrator: Lisa Kron Length: 1 hr and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 08-16-16 Publisher: Phoenix Books Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Comedy, Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Winner of the Obie Award, The New York Press Award and the L.A. Dramalogue Award. Lisa Kron invites her audience on a roller coaster ride through the Kron family album in 2.5 Minute Ride. Rising and falling between high hilarity and deep disquiet, Kron demonstrates with disarming simplicity that humor and horror can share the same human moment. Kron's' performance switches back and forth between her journey to Auschwitz with her septuagenarian father, a Holocaust survivor; her Michigan family's annual pilgrimage to a Sandusky, Ohio amusement park; and her brother's marriage to his Internet bride. By moving seamlessly between these three diverse recountings, Kron creates a complex, and at times a startling meditation on how human beings make sense of tragedy, grief, and everyday life. Featuring original music by Dan Fleet. Lisa Korn is an American actress and playwright, best known for writing the book and the lyrics to the musical Fun Home, for which she won both the Tony Award for Best Original Score and the Tony Award for Best Book of a Musical. Fun Home was also awarded the Tony Award for Best Musical in 2015. Critic Reviews: "Ms. Kron serves up wonderfully evocative, and often seriously funny, strings of words. But it's the pauses around and beneath those words, silences that are respectful to the point of awe, that set off the emotional vibrations that won't stop." (The New York Times)

There is nothing more wonderful than a mother's love. There is also nothing more annoying. Who else can proudly insist that you're perfect while simultaneously making you question every career, fashion, and relationship decision you have ever made? No one understands the delicate mother-daughter dynamic better than Kate Siegel - her own mother drove her so crazy that she decided to broadcast their hilarious conversations on Instagram. Soon hundreds of thousands of people were following their daily text exchanges, eager to see what outrageous thing Kate's mom would do next. Now, in Mother, Can You Not?, Kate pays tribute to the woman whose helicopter parenting may make your mom look like Mother Teresa. If fans think Kate's mom's texts are insane, they will laugh out loud at the anecdotes her daughter shares in this collection. From embarrassing moments (like her mother's surprise early morning visit, catching Kate in bed with her crush) to outrageous stories (such as the time she moved cross country to be near Kate's college) to hilarious mantras ("NO STD TEST, YOU WON'T BE GETTING SEXED!"), Mother, Can You Not? lovingly lampoons the lengths to which our mothers will go to better our lives (even if it feels like they're ruining them in the process).

She's living what should be the good life in sunny Los Angeles. After a gig as a correspondent with The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, she scored parts in blockbuster movies, which led to memorable recurring roles on HBO's Hung and Looking. She had a loving husband and an adorable baby boy. In these comedic essays, she turns a piercingly observant, darkly funny lens on the ways her life is actually not okay. She tells the story of her husband's affair with their babysitter, her first and only threesome, a tattoo gone horribly awry, and how the birth of her son caused mama drama with her own mother and birth mother with laugh-out-loud wit and a powerful undercurrent of vulnerability that pulls off a stunning balance between comedy and tragedy. Critic Reviews: "Weedman's charm and self-deprecating humor easily draw the reader in, and her willingness to tangle with hard truths make this a deeply affecting account of salvaging a life from wreckage."

This book is an eye-watering insight into the Lighter Side of working on the Dark Side, straight from the mess rooms of ambulance stations up and down the UK. There's also a heartening reminder of the power of a flamin' good belly laugh and its analgesic effect even in situations of severe pain. This is a book that laughs in the face of extreme emotion and stress. Outrageous? Perhaps. Distasteful? Probably. Humorous? Absolutely!

Title: Happily Ali After Subtitle: And Other Fairly True Tales Author: Ali Wentworth Narrator: Ali Wentworth Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 06-09-15 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 245 votes Genres: Comedy, Memoirs Publisher's Summary: The actress, comedian, media darling, and New York Times best-selling author picks up where she left off in Ali in Wonderland, dissecting modern life - and this time, on a mission of self-improvement - in a series of laugh-out-loud comic vignettes. Moved by a particularly inspirational tweet one day, Ali Wentworth resolves to live by the pithy maxims she discovers in her feeds. What begins as a sort of self-help project quickly turns into something far grander - and increasingly funnier - as the tweets she once viewed with irony become filled with increasing metaphysical importance. And thus begins her "Unhappiness Project". It's not long before Ali expands her self-improvement quest to include parenting, relationship, fitness (or lack thereof), and dieting advice. The results are painfully (at times literally) clear: when it comes to self-help, sometimes you should leave it to the professionals. At once endearing and hilarious, thoughtful and absurd, Happily Ali After is a thoroughly entertaining collection from "the girlfriend you want to have a glass of wine with, the one who makes you laugh because she sees the funny and the absurd in everything" (Huffington Post).

Title: I Like You Just the Way I Am Subtitle: Stories About Me and Some Other People Author: Jenny Mollen Narrator: Jenny Mollen Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs Language: English Release date: 06-02-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 430 votes Genres: Comedy, Memoirs Publisher's Summary: A New York Times best seller! By the actress, writer, and one of the funniest women on Twitter, an outrageous, hysterical memoir of acting on impulse, plotting elaborate hoaxes, and refusing to acknowledge boundaries in any form. Jenny Mollen is an actress and writer living in Los Angeles. She is also a wife, married to a famous guy (which is annoying only because he gets free shit and she doesn't). She doesn't want much from life. Just to be loved - by everybody: her parents, her dogs, her ex-boyfriends, her ex-boyfriends' dogs, her husband, her husband's ex-girlfriends, her husband's ex-girlfriend's new boyfriends, etc. Some people might call that impulse crazy, but isn't "crazy" really just a word boring people use to describe fun people? (And Jenny is really, really fun, you guys!) In this program, you'll find stories of Jenny at her most genuine, whether it's stalking her therapist (because he knows everything about her so shouldn't she get to know everything about him?); throwing a bachelorette party so bad that one of the guests is suspected dead; or answering the eternal question: Would your best friend blow your husband on a car ride to dinner if she didn't know you were hiding in the backseat? I Like You Just the Way I Am is about not doing the right thing - about indulging your inner crazy person. It is Jenny when she's not trying to impress anyone or come across as a responsible, level-headed member of society. With any luck it will make you better acquainted with who you really are and what you really want. Which, let's be honest, is most likely someone else's email password.

Title: Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates Subtitle: And a Thousand Cocktails Author: Mike Stangle, Dave Stangle Narrator: Dave Stangle, Mike Stangle Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 53 mins Language: English Release date: 05-19-15 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 73 votes Genres: Comedy, Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Two reckless but lovable all-American bros make a strong case for maturing slowly through their outrageous yet enlightening misadventures across this great country of ours. My brother and I are looking for wedding dates for our cousin's wedding. We've been told by the bride that bringing dates is "mandatory" so we "won't harass all of my friends all night" and will "stay under control". Rather than ask some fringe women in our lives to go and face the inevitable "does this mean he wants to take it to the next level?!" questions, we'd rather bring complete strangers and just figure it out.... We're both in our 20s, single, dashingly tall, Anglo-Saxon, respectfully athletic, love to party, completely house trained - love our mother, have seen Love Actually several times - raw, emotional, sensitive, but still bad boys. You should be attractive, or our aunts will judge you, but not TOO attractive, or one of our uncles might grope you. Dave and Mike Stangle thought nothing of it when they boozily decided to turn to the "activity partners" section of Craigslist to solicit dates to their cousin's wedding. The hilarious, out-of-this-world ad that they came up with - featuring a picture of the two brothers as centaurs - immediately went viral, eventually landing these Wayfarers-wearing, moped-riding, completely reckless but ultimately loveable bros in the annals of the "Internet famous". In Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates, the Stangle brothers bring their trademark off-color humor to everything from their most embarrassing adolescent experiences (like getting beat up by a girl on their front lawn...in front of their dad) to the most outrageous predicaments (like tripping on mushrooms with their bulldog, Frank) to proper sexting etiquette and finally to breaking up a midget bar fight (you have to shoo them away).

Title: Cupcake Factory Author: DJ Ass Maggots Narrator: Sherie DaBooke Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 04-01-15 Publisher: Ben Zandpour Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Comedy, Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Following in the fire trails of his first two raucous assortments of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll stories, author DJ Ass Maggots spins a third literary record off the presses, this one affectionately titled Cupcake Factory. It delivers a playlist of semiautobiographical stories organized into five major parties, and the beat never stops. DJ Maggots bookends the collection with actual conversations absconded from his secret Facebook group, "The Council." The interactions are wildly erratic, adult themed, and hard to follow - which is largely the point. Party number two, "Occupy Wall Street", tells how DJ Maggots wrote the story while protesting the banking bailout. It reveals a previously unseen side of his personality, as he pauses to provide genuine political commentary. Another addition unique to this book arrives in the form of guest contributions from a few of Maggots' cohorts. Everything else is there waiting to be discovered, from Hollywood debauchery to the Burning Man desert festival, with its electronic euphoria and spiritual reflection. So have a seat, and let the DJ spin you a few yarns that will inform, offend, delight, and leave you breathlessly hoping for more.

Title: Don't Worry, It Gets Worse Subtitle: One Twentysomething's (Mostly Failed) Attempts at Adulthood Author: Alida Nugent Narrator: Alida Nugent Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 35 mins Language: English Release date: 03-25-15 Publisher: ListenUp Audiobooks Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 58 votes Genres: Comedy, Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Alida Nugent graduated college with a degree in one hand and a drink in the other, eager to trade in parties and all-nighters for "the real world". But post-grad wasn't the glam life she imagined. Soon buried under a pile of bills, laundry, and three-dollar bottles of wine, it quickly became clear that she had no idea what she was doing. But hey, what twentysomething does? In Don't Worry, It Gets Worse, Nugent shares what it takes to make the awkward leap from undergrad to "mature and responsible adult that definitely never eats peanut butter straight from the jar and considers it a meal". From trying to find an apartment on the black hole otherwise known as Craigslist to the creative maneuvering needed to pay off student loans and still enjoy happy hour, Nugent documents the formative moments of being a twentysomething with a little bit of snark and a lot of heart. Perfect for fans of HBO's Girls and Allie Brosh's Hyperbole and a Half, and based on her popular Tumblr blog The Frenemy, Don't Worry, It Gets Worse is a love note to boozin', bitchin' ladies everywhere.

Title: Uganda Be Kidding Me Author: Chelsea Handler Narrator: Chelsea Handler Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 02-17-15 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2143 votes Genres: Comedy, Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Wherever Chelsea Handler travels, one thing is certain: she always ends up in the land of the ridiculous. Now, in this uproarious collection, she sneaks her sharp wit through airport security and delivers her most absurd and hilarious stories ever. On safari in Africa, it's anyone's guess as to what's more dangerous: the wildlife or Chelsea. But whether she's fumbling the seduction of a guide by not knowing where tigers live (Asia, duh) or wearing a bathrobe into the bush because her clothes stopped fitting seven margaritas ago, she's always game for the next misadventure. The situation gets down and dirty as she defiles a kayak in the Bahamas, and outright sweaty as she escapes from a German hospital on crutches. When things get truly scary, like finding herself stuck next to a passenger with bad breath, she knows she can rely on her family to make matters even worse. Thank goodness she has the devoted Chunk by her side - except for the time she loses him in Telluride. Complete with answers to the most frequently asked traveler's questions, hot travel trips, and travel etiquette, none of which should be believed, Uganda Be Kidding Me has Chelsea taking on the world, one laugh-out-loud incident at a time. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Title: Food: A Love Story Author: Jim Gaffigan Narrator: Jim Gaffigan Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 17 mins Language: English Release date: 10-21-14 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2776 votes Genres: Comedy, Memoirs Publisher's Summary: What are my qualifications to write this book? None really. So why should you read it? Heres why: Im a little fat. If a thin guy were to write about a love of food and eating Id highly recommend that you do not read his book." Bacon. McDonalds. Cinnabon. Hot Pockets. Kale. Stand-up comedian and author Jim Gaffigan has made his career rhapsodizing over the most treasured dishes of the American diet ("choking on bacon is like getting murdered by your lover") and decrying the worst offenders ("kale is the early morning of foods"). Fans flocked to his New York Times best-selling book Dad Is Fat to hear him riff on fatherhood, but now, in his second book, he will give them what they really crave - his thoughts on all things culinary(ish). Insights such as: why he believes coconut water was invented to get people to stop drinking coconut water, why pretzel bread is number three on his most important inventions of humankind (behind the wheel and the computer), and the answer to the age-old question "which animal is more delicious: the pig, the cow, or the bacon cheeseburger?" Editorial Reviews: Editors Select, October 2014 - Jim Gaffigan's Dad Is Fat was the first purchase I ever made on Audible. Long before I started working here, I came to the site to download a few of his comedy sketches, having always appreciated his honest and self-deprecating brand of humor. Food: A Love Story, Gaffigan's second full-length book after his 2013 best seller, is full of the hilarious and relatable anecdotes that fans have come to expect. His love of food is perhaps unmatched, and his portly belly and extensive research whilst touring go a long way in adding credibility to his reviews and thoughts on our nation's best (and worst) dishes. I cant wait to revisit Gaffigan's favorite meals with him as narrator.
