Publisher Description
A 2020 Audie Award Finalist
From YouTube star and Facebook Video sensation Laura Clery comes a collection of comedic essays in the vein of We Are Never Meeting in Real Life by Samantha Irby and You’ll Grow Out of It by Jessi Klein.
Laura Clery makes a living by sharing inappropriate comedy sketches with millions of strangers on the Internet. She writes songs about her anatomy, talks trash about her one-eyed rescue pug, and sexually harasses her husband, Stephen. And it pays the bills!
Now, in her first-ever book, Laura recounts how she went from being a dangerously impulsive, broke, unemployable, suicidal, cocaine-addicted narcissist, crippled by fear and hopping from one toxic romance to the next…to a more-happy-than-not, somewhat rational, meditating, vegan yogi with good credit, a great marriage, a fantastic career, and four unfortunate-looking rescue animals. Still, above all, Laura remains an amazingly talented, adorable, and vulnerable, self-described…Idiot.
With her signature brand of offbeat, no-holds-barred humor, Idiot introduces you to a wildly original—and undeniably relatable—new voice.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Achieving viral fame with over-the-top videos, actress/comedian Laura Clery shares her chaotic life story through a collection of essays that are as funny as her sketches. She folds frequent punchlines into anecdotes that range from her rebellious streak in high school to her run of toxic relationships down the track. Even when she graduates to a stable marriage and healthy lifestyle, the jokes don’t let up. Read by Clery herself in her native Chicago accent, her sunny, upbeat delivery provides a stark contrast to her dark, deadpan humour and flair for sudden swearing. Conveying a sense of empowerment after Clery’s many years of impulsive, self-destructive patterns (including addiction), Idiot plays like a live-wire rom-com with a surprisingly happy ending.
