I’ve been in this life for 50 years, been trying to work out its riddle for 42, and been keeping diaries of clues to that riddle for the last 35. Notes about successes and failures, joys and sorrows, things that made me marvel, and things that made me laugh out loud. How to be fair. How to have less stress. How to have fun. How to hurt people less. How to get hurt less. How to be a good man. How to have meaning in life. How to be more me.

Story
Bryan Cranston landed his first role at seven, when his father, a struggling actor and director, cast him in a United Way commercial. Soon Bryan was haunting the local movie theater, memorizing and reenacting favorite scenes with his older brother. Acting was clearly the boy's destiny - until one day his father disappeared. Suddenly destiny took a backseat to survival. Seeking something more stable, perhaps subconsciously trying to distance himself from his absent father, Cranston decided on a career in law enforcement.

Tom Felton’s adolescence was anything but ordinary.

For the next ten years, he was at the center of a huge pop culture phenomenon and yet, in between filming, he would go back to being a normal teenager trying to fit into a normal school. Speaking with great candor and his signature humor, Tom shares his experience.

Over the last 20 years, he has become one of New York City’s signature voices.

Tom Segura is known for his twisted takes and irreverent comedic voice. But after a few years of crazy tours and churning out podcasts weekly, all while parenting two young children, he desperately needs a second to himself. It’s not that he hates his friends and family—he’s not a monster—he’s just beat. In this collection of stories, Tom combines his signature curmudgeonly humor with a revealing look at some of the ridiculous situations that shaped him and the ludicrous characters who always seem to seek him out.Â

Jenna Fischer's Hollywood journey began at the age of 22 when she moved to Los Angeles from her hometown of St. Louis. She was determined, confident, and ready to work hard. So, what could go wrong? Uh, basically everything. The path to being a professional actor was so much more vast and competitive than she’d imagined. It would be eight long years before she landed her iconic role on The Office, nearly a decade of frustration, rejection, and doubt. If only she’d had a handbook for the aspiring actor. Or, better yet, someone to show her the way. Jenna wants to be that person for you.

Told with a healthy dose of self-deprecation, A Very Punchable Face reveals the brilliant mind behind some of the dumbest sketches on television, and lays bare the heart and humor of a hardworking guy - with a face you can’t help but want to punch.

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.

Fusing hip-hop, pop, R&B, and the best traditions of theater, this once-in-a-generation show broadens the sound of Broadway, reveals the storytelling power of rap, and claims our country's origins for a diverse new generation.

Hilarious and educational
I listened to this with my son who loves comedy. This was such a well done series. There is history and real lessons in comedy. Keegan -Michael is so talented. My son wanted to listen to it again after we finished. Might have a comedian on my hands. We also now have a “must see” list of comedy sketches, shows and movies to watch. Highly recommend but not for younger kids as there is a lot of swearing and some adult content.

As entertaining as it is educational...Keegan’s love for comedy comes through every historical note and impression that he gives. I had to stand up multiple times and exclaim, “you can’t do that!!” As I laughed as hard as I’ve ever laughed. This was a delightful listen and I cannot recommend it enough.

He uses his incredible talents and intellect to paint a vivid picture, and I laughed out loud several times in each of the ten episodes.

How did we end up in this place
Being curious about the roots of contemporary comedy, I have been wading through a lot of old content like comedic films and radio plays readily available online. It was a treat to hear Keegan-Michael Key’s take on this history and listen to his favorite selections that he re-enacts. So funny. I love his genuine enthusiasm for good comedy and adore his playful nature.

One of the best things I've listened to on Audible. The concept, writing, and delivery were just brilliant. Turns out there's some 'science' behind sketch comedy. But who cares, it's really really funny. As in "why is that crazy man laughing while walking his dog around the block?"

Unimpressed by the trailer, but it does reflect the delivery
There has clearly been some research and thought put into the script of the actual series, but I really think that the delivery (for a UK audience at least) needed subtle understatement rather than the over-excitement of K-M Key

Nice to listen to someone who loves the subject
I have enjoyed this because it is well researched and Mr Key clearly enjoys his subject matter. If you are on the fence then the author/narrator's enthusiasm will carry it. It's always good to listen to something done with love of the subject matter. This shines through although I agree that its a bit American (with other reviewers). To my mind however this is a plus as with this hyper level of enthusiasm you could sell me piss as vinegar LOL.

A history of American sketch comedy
Which is’nt a bad thing, but as a British listener it was hard to see British sketch comedy reduced to one episode, talking about comedy from over 40 years ago and more and missing out Not the Nine O’clock News, Big Train, The Fast Show, Smack the Pony and Green Wing to name a few feels like it’s selling things short on our side of the pond. Great presentation though.

Fascinating, funny and optimistic
I loved this. I had been a fan of Keegan M Key from Key and Peele, so his loose, conversational style didn't throw me. Rather, I found it compelling. This was meticulously researched and the sketches themselves, immaculately performed, so this approach made it feel less like a lecture and more like a back and forth. I also liked how eclectic and unsnobby it was, in terms of the ground it covered and as a Brit, I loved learning about sketch history from across the pond. Worked for me on every level.

Interesting history lesson but few laughs
I love comedy and enjoyed the history parts of this, especially the British episode.
However, whenever Key tried to be funny I felt like the only person laughing at his jokes was him. Maybe it's an American sense of humour that I do not get but he was totally over the top and loud. His recreations of some classic sketches made them unfunny and even made my favourite 'fork handles' sketch sound terrible.

Informative, but limitations of the medium
Keegan-Michael Key is excellent, he's smart and educated and knows his stuff. He's also funny.
But the medium of podcasts may not be the best way to share this knowledge. I did learn a lot about theater and classic film etc. And yes, analyzing comedy does tend to take away from the funny so that's not always his fault...
Yet overall, I wish it was a visual documentary. And I also wish they had the rights to all the clips he does impressions for, even if it was only audio, would have been much more entertaining that way is all.
Still, was worth listening for anyone who enjoys sketch and comedy.

History made funny
It is easy to watch and laugh at comedy but it isn't always easy to know the mechanics behind why you laugh and what draws you in. This is a great overview of comedy throughout the years and countries. It is a pity it only scraped the surface of sketch comedy outside of America or the influence of women and minorities.
