Hi! I’m Seth! I was asked to describe my audiobook, Yearbook for websites and shit like that, so...here it goes!!! Yearbook is a collection of true stories that I desperately hope are just funny at worst, and life-changingly amazing at best. (I understand that it’s likely the former, which is a fancy “book” way of saying “the first one.”) I talk about my grandparents, doing stand-up comedy as a teenager, bar mitzvahs, and Jewish summer camp, and tell way more stories about doing drugs than my mother would like.

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.

Gasteyer has toured with her band, performing what she calls her 'Happy Jazz’ act since 2016, delighting audiences and critics nationwide, with her "high-octane vocals", "a topnotch swingin’ ensemble" and "exuberant and rollicking entertainment".

Fun and easy listen
I listened to this story while doing some holiday organizing and it was a fun and easy listen. Relatable story about staying in touch with long-term friends. The SNL lover in me was happy to hear Rachel Dratch playing a Debbie Downer type character at the annual holiday party.

Christmas Secrets
A fun take on a serious topic. College friends drift apart over the years and one finds that everyone knows her husband's secret but her. The music was great and I wish there was more of it.

Good One.
Fast paced, funny, but not hilarious. Perfect for listening in quiet places...work, school, library, hospitals, Dr. offices, and etc.

good actors, not good story... in my opinion..
thought it was a comedy, more like being uncomfortably immersed in someone else's family drama... good actors just not the story for me

Spirited holiday story about friendship.
This was a fun, realistic listen that made me laugh and think. I definitely saw myself and others in these characters.

Life happens at Christmas
I wouldn't say this is exactly a comedy but I enjoyed listening to this book. It follows Sugar and Booze, who are best friends since school. But their lives grow separately and at some point they almost lose contact except through holiday newsletters to the family. We then go back to the past to learn what happened. Great voice acting.

It was well made
I had incredibly high hopes for this, I mean Ana Gasteyer & Maya Rudolph! Unfortunately It wasn't my sort of humour, only laughed once, didn't like the characters much and overall the story was disappointing.

Samantha is a professional seductress and con artist with a heart of gold. If she talked about her work, she’d tell you she only pilfers organs for medical research and that she only takes one kidney, and she only steals those kidneys from dishonest people. It’s hell on her social life. Abe is the doctor and Sam's partner in crime. He isn’t much of a criminal. Except for the kidney stealing. But he’s using that money to fund his research that he anticipates will be able to cure diabetes. So, all for a good cause...? You decide. Of course, it's hell on his social life.

Riley Kennedy’s emails keep getting crossed with her male colleague, Kennedy Riley. The infuriating man forwards them along with his annoying commentary and unsolicited advice. At least she never has to see him in person, since they work in different locations…until they come face to face at the office holiday party.

If Joe and Vicky had known what relocating to a tiny mountain village in Andalucía would really be like, they might have hesitated. They can have no idea of the culture shock in store for them...no idea they'll become reluctant chicken farmers and own the most dangerous cockerel in Spain...no idea they'll help capture a vulture and be rescued by a mule. Will they stay, or will they return to the relative sanity of England?

What’s in a name? A lot. The name Tinaca, for example, has been passed down in the Jones family for generations of women. In fact, the Joneses name a Tinaca every other generation, to let the name breathe a little. To let each Tinaca shine. And shine is exactly what Tinaca Jones intends to do.

Wren’s closest friend, her anchor since childhood, is dead. Stewart Beasley. Gone. She can’t quite believe it, and she definitely can’t bring herself to google what causes an aneurysm. Instead of weeping or facing reality, Wren has been dreaming up the perfect funeral plans, memorial buffets, and processional songs for everyone from the corner bodega owner to her parents (none of whom show signs of imminent demise).
