The Bedwetter

Stories of Courage, Redemption, and Pee

By: Sarah Silverman

Narrated by: Sarah Silverman

Length: 5 hrs and 42 mins

Publisher's summary

From the outrageously filthy and oddly innocent comedienne and star of the powerful 2015 film I Smile Back Sarah Silverman comes a memoir—her first book—that is at once shockingly personal, surprisingly poignant, and still pee-in-your-pants funny. If you like Sarah's television show The Sarah Silverman Program, or memoirs such as Chelsea Handler's Are You There Vodka? It's Me Chelsea and Artie Lange's Too Fat to Fish, you'll love The Bedwetter.

Critic reviews

"Silverman takes readers on a tour of the underground tunnel that is her mind, and believe me, it is as full of muck as the sewers of Paris. Only funnier....[A]n absurdist’s delight." ( Booklist)

She's Great

if you're a fan of Sarah then you should definitely give this a try very funny stuff

Everything you'd expect from Sarah Silverman

I almost didn't buy this book because of the negative reviews, then I read one review that said "you should never miss an opportunity to hear a comedic author deliver their book in their own voice" which I agree with fully..... So i downloaded it.

I'm glad I did.... I love Sarah, even though she's crude and raunchy, it's all for comedic shock value and that's WHY you love her right!!?

The story is good, it shares some insight on her show, how she writes comedy and such but also gives a background on her vulnerabilities and insecurities which is a side of her you don't often see. So that was pretty cool too.

All in all pretty well written and very well delivered in my opinion.

Very funny

The ending is no joke.. Godly!
Very funny
Your anus will laugh with you!
"Pah pah pah!" Laughs your ass off!

worth the download for any Silverman fan

With high standards having listened to Bossypants and Yes, Please prior, it was still an entertaining listen. Silverman states outright that her life and hence memoir aren't the makings of some telenovela (I'm paraphrasing), but provides sincere humility to draw in the listener. I found Sarah surprisingly endearing and have a higher respect for her as a comedienne. Those unfamiliar with her style of humor may not find it as enjoyable but again, if you're a fan, this one is for you.

I LOVE HER

Sometimes sad, always funny, and always honest. I love her even more now. I might buy a hard copy just because too.... Got me through going to the gym!!! (I hate the gym)

Worth the Listen

The reading by the author gives extra zing to an already funny book. If you like her style of humor, you'll love this.

Candid...Honest...Funny!

Sarah Silverman gives us a very honest, candid look into some of the darkest times in her life, delivering it all with a healthy amount of humor and plenty of the filthiness she has made so famous. If you dig Sarah Silverman, you will dig this book.

I regret that I took so long to read/listen to it.

Still undecided on Sarah, but enjoyed the book!

Before downloading this book, I'd never been sure if I loved or hated Sarah Silverman. I didn't follow her career much, though most of what I'd seen from her was funny. Nothing that made me love her though. Possibly because her comedic style is elitist and maybe even a bit designed for you to hate her. Regardless, I gave this book a shot. The good news is I really enjoyed the book! (Glad I got the audiobook instead of reading this, there were a lot of punch lines that made me think 'I wouldn't have read it that way.') The neutral news is that, even after five hours of listening to Sarah Silverman talk about Sarah Silverman, this book left me pretty indifferent on her. Which, for die hard fans should be a big plus, because she's clearly true to form in this one! Very interesting and entertaining to hear about her 'non-Harvard' path into comedy. And the obligatory childhood chapters were actually some of my favorites - which is almost never the case with these types of books. Overall, I'd definitely recommend giving it a listen...even if you're not sure.
