Rob Delaney
From a Deadpool 2 fan favorite comes a “hilarious, raw” (Rolling Stone) memoir about love, sex, parenthood, work, substance abuse, and everything else that makes life wonderful and/or horrible.
Rob Delaney is a comedy superstar. But if you’re ever watched him steal scenes as Peter in Deadpool 2, binged his streaming series Catastrophe, encountered his raunchy and mischievous Twitter presence, or witnessed the hilarious and painful sharing he does in his stand-up, you already know that. In his first book, he traces his journey from middle-class theater geek to public menace to devoted family man and passionately engaged model citizen - from his youthful obsession (and pen pal relationship) with heavy metal band Danzig and an episode of drunken bungee jumping off the Brooklyn Bridge, to his court-ordered stint in rehab and the miracle of his son’s birth. All together, these essays make clear why it is he is so darn lovable - and so f#!%ing funny.
Praise for Rob Delaney:
“Unlike some books by comics, Delaney’s volume offers a rich, deeply considered (and yes, funny) look at his life.... A great read by any standard, but even more so for including stories about needing (and failing) to find a bathroom while jogging.” (E! Online)
“One of the most hilarious bundles of words we have ever read.” (Vice)
“A book as funny, sincere, weird, wet, and wonderful as Rob Delaney himself.” (Jimmy Kimmel)
“Heart-wrenchingly true tales exuding self-effacing whimsy and smart-guy charm.” (Splitsider)
“Delaney has a knack for pinpointing what’s hilarious and sad about adolescent bed-wetting and his own abundant body hair, but somehow the darkest chapters [in this book] make you laugh hardest.” (Entertainment Weekly)
“Rob Delaney has done it again! Actually, this is his first book, so he has not ‘done it again.’ Actually, this book is so good, I doubt he will be able to do it again. He’s peaked.” (Judd Apatow)
“Rob’s transition from tweets to book is like a gold medal sprinter winning the marathon the next day. I am jealous and angry.” (Seth Meyers)
“WARNING: This book may cause involuntary seepage. Some funny, funny, funny, funny s*** from the most dangerous man on Twitter. The fact that he’s just as funny in long form makes me want to vomit with envy.” (Anthony Bourdain)

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
If my friend was an alcoholic struggling to come to terms with their addiction, sure. I'd recommend it. If my friend loved Rob Delany and wanted to know more about his life, sure. Give it a read.If you don't know or care who Rob Delany is, this audiobook isn't for you.If you were looking for a funny or light audiobook to listen to, probably not for you.How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
Rob Delany is a funny guy, but this book has nothing in common with his comedy. So many of his essays were very ordinary and commonplace tellings of his college years, which probably could have been funnier or more entertaining with a little more editing.He does a good job talking about his struggle with alcoholism, but it's in a very somber tone. That's not a fault of the book, but based on the marketing and title of the book, you'd never expect it to be such a heavy-handed or personal account.What do you think the narrator could have done better?
His reading was pretty monotone throughout, and his material would have been more enjoyable had he worked on his delivery a bit more.If this book were a movie would you go see it?
Probably not.Any additional comments?
Don't go into this book expecting any of Rob Delany's Twitter or Stand-up wit or persona. This is a straight-up memoir. If that doesn't scare you off, you'll probably be able to enjoy it.It was ok

Would you consider the audio edition of Rob Delaney to be better than the print version?
I haven't read the print version, but as I listen, I love the sound of his voice as he's reliving all of the episodes in the book.What did you like best about this story?
It sucks you in from the beginning and keeps you enthralled straight through to the last word. I didn't want it to end. Compellingly and smartly told - sad, cerebral yet ultimately uplifting.Have you listened to any of Rob Delaney’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No, but I will now.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
I don't think the title should/could be added to.Any additional comments?
For the millions out there who have been to those dark places, thanks for sharing and enlightening and giving a glimmer of hope.Acerbic - Sentimental - Cerebral
