The Bedwetter

Stories of Courage, Redemption, and Pee

De: Sarah Silverman

Narrado por: Sarah Silverman

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.

Enjoyable, refreshing frankness

What did you love best about The Bedwetter?

I'm not a big Sarah Silverman fan. Her gross-out comedy is just not my cup of tea. But her memoir is honest and frank, and you can tell from it that she is a genuinely kind person who has made a lot of mistakes that she regrets during a time that she maybe didn't like herself that much. As a woman, I can really identify with that. In addition, she has been in comedy for a long time, so her memories are an interesting glimpse into the comedy scene in the 90s.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

It was sweet

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

You could definitely feel her emotion when she told stories of her past.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

This question is dumb.

Any additional comments?

I am still not a fan of Sarah Silverman's comedy (except for the Matt Damon song), but I am now sort of fond of her as a human being.

Loved it!

Being a fan it was no doubt that I enjoyed Sarah's memoir. I especially enjoyed her chronicles of childhood growing up outside of Manchester, NH.. where I am from. Some of the ending chapters got mushy and were not as witty as others, but only a little bit, and nonetheless enjoyable. I definitely had moments where I sat in the parking lot at work and finished listening to parts before I got out.

Naughty

I so enjoyed listening to her tell the funniest bits of her life. I love how naughty she is. I snickered and laughed out loud on the plane. She perfectly captures the life of a Jewess from the northeast. Thanks Sarah!

Why too preachy near the end

Have you listened to any of Sarah Silverman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Her stand up and sketch comedy has always made me laugh except when pushing her political views on others.

Any additional comments?

The book starts off great with her history, but gets so preachy during chapters 20-24 I couldn't finish the book.

Good Funny and entertaining

loved it, left me wanting more .funny in her own quirky way. do not sleep with it on the background , leads to some weird dreams.
