Is It Just Me?

By: Miranda Hart

Narrated by: Miranda Hart

Length: 7 hrs and 21 mins

Publisher's summary

Well hello to you dear audiobook browser. Now I have your attention it would be rude if I didn't tell you a little about my literary feast. So, here is the thing: Is it just me or does anyone else find that adulthood offers no refuge from the unexpected horrors, peculiar lack of physical coordination, and sometimes unexplained nudity that accompanied childhood and adolescence? Does everybody struggle with the hazards that accompany, say, sitting elegantly on a bar stool; using chopsticks; pretending to understand the bank crisis; pedicures - surely it's plain wrong for a stranger to fondle your feet? Or is it just me?

I am proud to say I have a wealth of awkward experiences - from school days to life as an office temp - and here I offer my 18-year-old self (and I hope you, too, dear listener) some much needed caution and guidance on how to navigate life's rocky path. Because frankly where is the manual? The much needed manual to life. Well, fret not, for this is my attempt at one and let's call it, because it's fun, a Miran-ual. I thank you.

Critic reviews

“That personality and voice belong to a uniquely cherished comedian” ( Daily Mail)

“This is pure, unadulterated, totally genius, Miranda. A cult (would religion be too weighty a word?) must surely follow, where can we get the T-shirt?” ( Red Online)

“I can't wait to get my hands on a copy of Miranda Hart's new book - we should all embrace our inner Miranda gene and learn to laugh at ourselves.” ( Daily Express )

“In her brilliantly funny book, TV's Miranda muses on some of the most challenging, baffling and 'hideola' aspects of life... all the anecdotes are told in her unique style, with regular interjections from her 18-year-old self. Such fun!” ( Star)

“Is Miranda Hart a National Treasure yet? If not, it can only be a year or two before she joins Stephen Fry and Alan Bennett in the trophy cabinet of the country's affections... That personality and voice belong to a uniquely cherished comedian, and the answer to that question in her title is actually, yes - it is just her. Because there's nobody like Miranda.” ( Daily Mail)

“Funny and charming and full of terrific comic ideas... Unlike most comedians, she can actually write... Every Christmas there is, at the very most, one celeb book that is genuinely worth buying and reading. Here is this year's. Accept no substitutes.” ( The Spectator )

“Miranda Hart will carry you along with the sheer force of her charm, bumbling cheer and charisma.” ( Sunday Express)

Miranda had written so much of my life

it was a relief so listen to this book, and know that I am not alone in this world of oddity, that the weird and wonderful but mostly embarrassing things that I do, others have done similar, and its ok. I am thankful to hear about the weird dreams, the stories that I tell myself, I'm not alone in my weirdness and that it's ok.

Thank you Miranda for this book. It may have been written 10 years ago, but it is perfect for me in 2024 xx

Absolutely Love It!!

I LOVE this book! It is so lighthearted and funny! I have listened to it quite a few times now and it gets funnier each time.

Delightful romp

I loved listening to Miranda's stories. She was brutally, painfully honest about some of the most mortifying situations and I found myself chuckling throughout the entire book. She is an engaging, warm person with a gift for telling it like it is. I definitely will listen to this one again.

Fabulously Miranda !

Loved this book love Miranda, great narrator, very funny, my first audiobook and now I am addicted.

A great comedienne

Only 38 years old when is is written and nothing much in one sense to write about except she is a very funny woman. The trick of speaking to her 18 year old self is illuminating, and carries some great insights into growing up. Her humour is very "British", and a sense of the absurd in everyday experiences. Great fun!

Such fun!!!

What an hilarious audiobook! I didn't want it to end but I can't wait for the next audiobook by Miranda to come out!

Fantastic!

I personally absolutely love Miranda hart and her comedic style. I found her writing funny and lighthearted with a sweet message. If you’re looking for something fun and quite amusing this is the perfect audiobook for you! 10 out of 10 would enjoy multiple times.

Miranda Hart fans treat

The best part was The exchange between young Miranda and her grown up self. Hilarious.

Such Fun!

Funny, heartwarming, hopeful. Her performance feels authentic and genuine. This is, what I call, a lovely book. Such fun! Such fun!

Brilliant!

Frankly I can't wait to listen again. Miranda had me laughing out loud on my walk to work, probably looking a bit crazy, but I didn't even care. It was that good.
