Life Is Funny Until It's Not

A Comic's Story of Love, Loss, and Lunacy

De: Chonda Pierce

Narrado por: Becky London

One of America’s funniest women opens up in this real and raw memoir, encouraging listeners to face life’s trials with unshakeable faith and joy.

A stand-up comedian beloved for her combination of feisty wit and Southern charm, Pierce knows all too well that life is funny—until it’s not. But she also knows that it will become funny again. She’s held on to that hope—and that promise—through tragedy and triumph.

And now she’s finally ready to tell her full story.

In Life Is Funny until It’s Not, Pierce recounts a preacher’s daughter’s childhood filled with heartbreak, including abuse, her parents’ divorce, and the sudden deaths of her two sisters in the span of two years. Even after she achieved success in her comedy tours, trials and tragedy dogged her through marriage, motherhood, and widowhood. But God was there with her through every sorrow and every joy.

This story of unshakeable hope and faith will inspire readers to turn to God and trust his faithfulness.

Chonda Pierce has a white-knuckle faith—the kind you almost dare to have taken from you. And she wants her listeners to share her unapologetic courage to hope—as well as a few laughs along the way.

Raw real

Loved this book, raw and real, covering so many different things. Always pointing back to help, but without being flippant.

What a testimony!

I didn't like the narrator at first since she didn't sound like Chonda, but before long I thought it was Chonda herself reading the book! Such a life story of ups and downs. Would love to have a friend like that in my life, but makes you appreciate what you DO have! Great reading! Have a listen as you won't be disappointed.

Chonda at here best!

Chonda makes it real and she does it with wonderful grace. I believe she shares her story to take away the shame that haunts many of us, allowing us to heal and bask in the beautiful Grace of God.

Imperfectly perfect!

Loved her story, her real, messy story. So relatable in this broken world we live in. And who doesn’t love a laugh?!

Honesty and Love

I liked the honesty with love and humor. Laughter can ease any difficult situation. I would highly recommend this book to my friends.

Such an Inspiration!

I've known of Chonda since her days at Opryland, and followed her career since. Her life story is one of great tragedy, love, and survival...with God holding, dragging, leading, loving her through all that she has endured. I highly recommend, no, believe anyone with "baggage", issues, or has survived stuff, should read or listen to this book. Chonda Pierce is an inspiration!

Real truth

it blunt and funny on how God works. It makes you see we all struggle but God has us if we let him.

Inspiring story of love and life.

I loved this book! The honesty and raw truth is inspiring. This story is a treasure for anyone looking for a silver lining in life. Thank you for sharing sorrow and pain so openly and reminding us laughter really is the best medicine!!
