Publisher's summary

‘How long have I got, Doc? Five days? Five weeks? Five months? Five years?’

‘Months,’ the oncologist replied.

When he heard this devastating news, Steve Legg and his wife Bekah made a bold decision – they would get busy living and get busy laughing.

Yes, there were tears that day and in those that followed, but Steve is a funnyman and a man of faith. He was never going to give cancer the last laugh.

In his latest book, international baffler and funny guy, Steve Legg, faces the no-joke reality of the diagnosis of a terminal illness. An engaging listen throughout, the book will lead you to the most wonderful of all conclusions: that we are never, ever alone, and never, ever forsaken.

But this is not just Steve’s story; he draws lessons that can change not only the way we view our death – but also our life.

Hope. Heart. Humour. Humanity. This gripping story has everything.

A Celebration of Life and Laughter!

"The Last Laugh" is not just a memoir; it's a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. It reminds us that even in the face of darkness, we can always find room for laughter, love, and hope. By sharing his story with such vulnerability and authenticity, Steve leaves an unforgettable mark on readers. As a cancer thrive myself, I am inspired by Steve's story to cherish every moment and find joy in the simplest of pleasures. I will reread it and recommend it to my coaching clients.

I would give this 10 stars instead of 5 if I could

OMG, I loved this book! I was meant to read this book right now. I laughed out loud so many times, for a topic that is so heavy Steve has an incredible way of adding humour to an intense subject. HIs faith is inspirational and the power of prayer is so profound and apparent.

I will pray for Steve and his family as I feel so connected and truly feel like I know this incredible man. I think this is worth a read for anyone and I mean anyone and everyone. I have struggled with incredible trauma over the last three years, not cancer, but something equally traumatizing. He is an inspiration for keeping a positive and humourous mindset. The power of prayer and the power of humour are apparent in his story and I will remember this book for the rest of my life. Thank you Steve, I'm better for having read your story. You are Superman and I am inspired!

Truly Inspiring and Profoundly Moving

Having recently lost a loved one to cancer, "The Last Laugh: Reflections of a Funnyman with Terminal Cancer" struck a deep chord within me. Steve Legg's story, which he narrates himself with incredible wit and warmth, is both heart-warming and heart-wrenching. His performance is incredible, seamlessly blending humor and profound love - particularly when he speaks about his warrior of a wife. This audiobook is a beautiful exploration of living fully in the present while gracefully accepting the journey toward the end. It's a remarkable testament to the power of laughter and love in the face of life's greatest challenges. In Legg's words, after listening to his story, I am ready to "get busy living."

Inspired tale of a journey through cancer

Steve is a funny guy. His story is pretty wild. You’d think a story about being diagnosed with a rare form of melanoma would be hard to listen to, but he actually made it entertaining!

His strength and optimism are inspiring in the face of such an overwhelming situation. His connection to god and his faith are a driving force throughout this story, and I’m glad to hear that he is still crushing it! I can’t imagine writing a book after getting a life changing diagnosis, but I’m glad that he did! This is an inspiring journey and I’m glad that I picked this book up.
