Definitely both hilarious and moving by turns; Sedaris's focus on aging, loss, and death is maybe more palpable as a serious undercurrent than you might find in some of his other work, but there are also definitely moments that made me laugh out loud while listening at work. I definitely recommend the audiobook--it's not long (only something like 6 hours,) and his voice is so important in parts, especially when he's doing voices for his siblings or other people that he meets. There are things that make me cringe--a joke about how he's transitioning because he buys and wears culottes, and a bit from a pre-pandemic moment where he talks about how much he hates people wearing masks in public (oops!) but you can't blame him for not seeing that one coming. I don't know that I needed his perspective on the 2016 election, but I kind of feel that way about all white people reacting to the 2016 election (and strongly recommend Tessie McMillan Cottom's essay about that election in Thick, among other essays in it.)

Nonetheless, I think this was a really good read, and if you like Sedaris's other work you will probably like this--and you will enjoy how he has grown and evolved over time!
