Comedy Winner: Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory
"It’s interesting to think about how comedy relates to pain. There’s the famous equation discovered by the Ancient Greek mathematician Humorous Comedius: Tragedy + Time = Comedy. Not to mention the often-touted clinical hypothesis that laughter is the best medicine.
There’s got to be a reason why there’s a whole slapstick industry of reality TV centered on slips, trips, smacks, and falls. We can laugh because we recognize pain and failure when we see it. In one way or another, each of the finalists in this category explore what it means when things don’t go according to plan and you’ve got to take your licks before figuring out your next move.
Things get ugly out there, people—especially when it comes to love—and sometimes you’ve got to be able to laugh at it. That’s why Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory takes the crown in this category. Anyone familiar with the author’s critically acclaimed animated series BoJack Horseman knows that Raphael Bob-Waksberg isn’t afraid to take the gloves off and hit you with some ugly truths all while making it funny and relatable no matter how weird of a package it comes in. These stories break your heart and then offer you a lollipop while making a funny face. This is what good humor sounds like." —Aaron, Audible Editor

In this collection of hilarious and poignant essays (including his acclaimed New York Times piece “What if I Bombed at My Own Wedding?”), Josh celebrates a life of good intentions - and mixed results. His true tales of romantic calamities, professional misfortunes, and eventual triumphs reinforce the notion: we get out of the world what we put into it. Whether he’s adopting a dog from a suspicious stranger, mitigating a disastrous road trip, or trying MDMA for the first (and only) time, Josh only wants the best for everyone.

In sports, everybody loves redemption stories, the underdog who no one believes in but through sheer hard work wins it all. But no one tells the stories of the players who work hard and don’t make it. In pro football, 53 guys get on the roster. Ten make it to the practice squad. And then there’s the 64th Man - that’s Billy Logan (Cena), who seems to always be one spot from glory.
