I'm often disappointed by comedian memoirs because they tend to be just their standup acts written out, and it's like, I already heard this? And it was better when you were performing it? But I keep trying to read them because I like standup comedy. And disappointment. But! This didn't disappoint! It was what I want from a comedian memoir--it gave a lot of backstory for the material from her amazing Live album, as well as some post-story. And it was very funny. And I cried.
