I like to think
of the seasons as party guests: summer comes in hot (that’s right, a pun right out the gate) and dips from the party early on a high note, leaving everyone wanting more. Fall is the guest that everyone knows and gets along with—mellow, good conversationalist, always rocking a plaid button down. Winter is the guest that overstays their welcome, sitting around your living room well after the party ended with a cup of coffee, oblivious to all the passive remarks you’ve made about wanting to get to sleep. And spring is the old friend that everyone is happy to see. They walk in and the energy of the place changes—more smiles, more jokes—and you slug them a beer and tell them how happy you are that they made it. And even though spring is a little late to the party like always, I know they’re on their way, and I’ve got a beer right here waiting for them.Lately I've been so busy that it feels like spring started the party without me, but at least I can still look forward to those precious few moments between work and classes, when I get some time to myself to zone out to some great comedy. Now let’s get down to business.

Profanity, is not comedy

What's better than one stand-up set?
How about nine? This is what we in the biz
call a hidden gem.
Turns out we have a real goldmine of stand-up material, and this is one of those titles. Each of the sets featured in this bundle is absurdly funny. And if you saw me on the subway the other day as I listened to this, you’d have seen me struggle to hold back laughing out loud. With over seven hours of jokes entirely from female comics, this is a great way to close out Women’s History Month on a high note.

Historia
Nineteen-year-old Greg Sestero met Tommy Wiseau at an acting school in San Francisco. Wiseau's scenes were rivetingly wrong, yet Sestero, hypnotized by such uninhibited acting, thought, "I have to do a scene with this guy." That impulse changed both of their lives. The Disaster Artist is Greg Sestero's laugh-out-loud funny account of how Tommy Wiseau defied every law of artistry, business, and friendship to make "the Citizen Kane of bad movies" ( Entertainment Weekly), which is now an international phenomenon.

Leave your stupid comments in your pocket!
One of my favorite things about writing this newsletter is that sometimes I just get to talk about titles I really like just because I can. This is one of those times. If you don’t know the story behind the making of The Room—widely hailed as the best worst movie ever made—or the 2017 film based on this book, then download this title immediately. The Disaster Artist isn’t technically a comedy title, but it is one of the funniest, wildest, and weirdly heartwarming listening experiences of my audio life.

Historia
A largescale riot rages through Westbrook prison in upstate New York, incited by a poem in the house literary journal. Our unnamed narrator, barricaded inside the computer lab, swears he’s blameless - even though, as editor in chief, he published the piece in question. As he awaits violent interruption by his many, many enemies, he liveblogs one final Editor’s Letter. Riots I Have Known is his memoir, confession, and act of literary revenge.

Historia
Unfiltered. Unapologetic. Older, but not wiser, Lancaster goes back to basics in this hilarious essay collection about everything from taking community policing classes to accidentally getting high with her waiter after a fancy dinner. These are the tales she'd tell if she met you in a bar... if she weren't too lazy to put on pants and go to a bar. Offering advice ranging from how to remain happily married to a man who refuses to blow his damn nose already to not creating An Incident at the cheese counter during an attempt at Whole30, she's you, only louder.
