NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

“An inspiring story that manages to be painful, honest, shocking, bawdy, and hilarious.” —The New York Times Book Review

From stand-up comedian, actress, and breakout star of Girls Trip, Tiffany Haddish, comes The Last Black Unicorn, a sidesplitting, hysterical, edgy, and unflinching collection of (extremely) personal essays, as fearless as the author herself.

Growing up in one of the poorest neighborhoods of South Central Los Angeles, Tiffany learned to survive by making people laugh. If she could do that, then her classmates would let her copy their homework, the other foster kids she lived with wouldn’t beat her up, and she might even get a boyfriend. Or at least she could make enough money—as the paid school mascot and in-demand Bar Mitzvah hype woman—to get her hair and nails done, so then she might get a boyfriend.

None of that worked (and she’s still single), but it allowed Tiffany to imagine a place for herself where she could do something she loved for a living: comedy.

Tiffany can’t avoid being funny—it’s just who she is, whether she’s plotting shocking, jaw-dropping revenge on an ex-boyfriend or learning how to handle her newfound fame despite still having a broke person’s mind-set. Finally poised to become a household name, she recounts with heart and humor how she came from nothing and nowhere to achieve her dreams by owning, sharing, and using her pain to heal others.

By turns hilarious, filthy, and brutally honest, The Last Black Unicorn shows the world who Tiffany Haddish really is—humble, grateful, down-to-earth, and funny as hell. And now, she’s ready to inspire others through the power of laughter.

Sad it ended

This book was amazingly raw. I loved it and I love Tiffany even more.
I NEVER revisit an audiobook but as soon as I’m done telling you how amazing this book was I’m going to restart it all over again.

She Ready! On purpose! Let us all work on that.

I enjoyed and appreciated the read. Life is a journey and having the courage to share when you have a platform is something amazing.

SHE READY!

Entertaining

Overall this was an enjoyable and entertaining audio book. I laughed a lot more than I thought I would.

I liked it!

I liked how open she was with it and not hold back on anything really. I did find it was all over the place but I was still entertained. Clearly for this book you can see how she thinks and what goes on in her head. I must say, I get it. Definitely a good listen.

Haddish is Hilarious!!

Tiffany jumps around a bit and having the book read in her voice I thought would be irritating but, I wouldn't hv it any other way!! She is honest and raw. it's always refreshing to know that most people have their own shut to deal with, and it's funny how she feels with hers.

Hilarious, honest, and warm-hearted

Would you consider the audio edition of The Last Black Unicorn to be better than the print version?

Absolutely. Tiffany Haddish wrote it, and who better to read it?

What other book might you compare The Last Black Unicorn to and why?

This book is in the vein of BossyPants, by Tina Fey, The Bedwetter, by Sarah Silverman, and Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo, by Amy Schumer.

Have you listened to any of Tiffany Haddish’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It made me laugh, and I admired Tiffany's honest and open self examination. It would be hard to write in a manner so revealing.

Authentically funny!

Hilarious! However, I felt every emotional pull of what she was feeling. Thank you Tiffany!

Fantastic!!!

I really enjoyed this book. I found her story to be funny and touching. Great job to Tiffany for her book.👍👍👍👍👍
