“An inspiring story that manages to be painful, honest, shocking, bawdy, and hilarious.” —The New York Times Book Review

From stand-up comedian, actress, and breakout star of Girls Trip, Tiffany Haddish, comes The Last Black Unicorn, a sidesplitting, hysterical, edgy, and unflinching collection of (extremely) personal essays, as fearless as the author herself.

Growing up in one of the poorest neighborhoods of South Central Los Angeles, Tiffany learned to survive by making people laugh. If she could do that, then her classmates would let her copy their homework, the other foster kids she lived with wouldn’t beat her up, and she might even get a boyfriend. Or at least she could make enough money—as the paid school mascot and in-demand Bar Mitzvah hype woman—to get her hair and nails done, so then she might get a boyfriend.

None of that worked (and she’s still single), but it allowed Tiffany to imagine a place for herself where she could do something she loved for a living: comedy.

Tiffany can’t avoid being funny—it’s just who she is, whether she’s plotting shocking, jaw-dropping revenge on an ex-boyfriend or learning how to handle her newfound fame despite still having a broke person’s mind-set. Finally poised to become a household name, she recounts with heart and humor how she came from nothing and nowhere to achieve her dreams by owning, sharing, and using her pain to heal others.

By turns hilarious, filthy, and brutally honest, The Last Black Unicorn shows the world who Tiffany Haddish really is—humble, grateful, down-to-earth, and funny as hell. And now, she’s ready to inspire others through the power of laughter.

Unapologetically Real

Couldn't stop listening!!! Tiffany is really amazing for sharing her life with us. I was able to connect with her through out this book and hope that any one who reads this is inspired by her courage ,tanacity and DGAF attitude as much as I was.

The Last Black Unicorn

Happy, sad, excited, anxious moments. All the emotions and senses come alive while reading this book. GET IT!

Way too much cussing

I know comedians use cussing as part of their repertoire but I guess I was not prepared. Just a warning to other virgin ears...every other word is a cuss. You’ve been warned.

Mad that it ended!

I loved it! I felt as though I was on a journey through Tiffany’s eyes. This was my first audible book and I am so glad to have experienced it with her story! I have the utmost respect for her and wish her continued blessings. Well deserved!

Incredible!

I knew I would enjoy it, I think Tiffany is one of the funniest comedians around and knowing she has had personal relationships/ friendships with many of my other favorites (Richard Pryor, Dave Chappelle, Arsenio Hall) only reinforced my appreciation of her hard work.

I don’t typically get emotionally involved in stories but man. I am not ashamed to say I caught myself in tears, cheering her on, and laughing out loud, at work, with my headphones on, disrupting everyone. This was well worth it. What’s better was the author was the narrator, which gave the book just that much more personality.

I chose the audio version because at any given time I’m reading 3-4 books from biographical to self improvement and technical publications so this was going to be more entertainment and something I could do while working or driving (current music no longer holds my attention). This however will be one I will be adding to my personal library in hard form and I can see myself reading over and over again.

I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did.
