À propos de cet audio

 A NATIONAL BESTSELLER

A humorous collection of autobiographical essays from comedian andEmmy Award–winning actor Jeff Hiller, who shares his journey from growing up “profoundly gay” in 1980s Texas to his experiences as an inept social worker and how he clawed, scraped, and brawled to Hollywood’s lower middle-tier.

While struggling to find success as an actor and pay the bills, something accidentally happened to Jeff Hiller: he aged. And while it’s one thing to get older and rest on the laurels of success from the blood, sweat, and tears of your youth, it’s quite another to be old and have no laurels. At forty, stuck in a temp job making spreadsheets, the dream of becoming a star seemed out of reach. But after twenty-five years of guest roles on TV and performing improv in a grocery store basement, he finally struck gold with a breakout role on HBO’s Somebody Somewhere, playing Joel—the kind of best friend everyone wishes they had.

In his book, Jeff dives into the grit and grind of climbing the Hollywood ladder. It’s a raw and often hilarious tale of the struggles, triumphs, and humiliations that shaped him into the wonderfully imperfect person he is today. With a mix of awkward charm and heartfelt honesty, Jeff shares his journey: growing up very Lutheran in Texas, navigating bullying as a gay kid, working as a social worker for unhoused youth and HIV prevention, and the endless ups and downs of being a struggling actor. For every one of us who have a dream that we’re chasing—and chasing, and chasing—his is a funny, moving, and utterly relatable story.

I’ve been a fan of Somebody Somewhere since the beginning and Jeff’s memoir has been on my reading list since it came out. Just finished it. Loooooved everything about it but most of all is Jeff’s performance in narrating it.

AMAZING book!!!

This was such a delightful listen. I giggled, cackled, guffawed... I teared up some, and was absolutely enamored with the author and his story (and delivery) the whole way through.

Giggling all the way

When I finally stumbled upon Somebody Somewhere Inbinged the whole thing. Jeff says it was like Joel was written for him, but he wasn't. This series was about my life, only not actually. Watching the show on repeat while I wrote my new book became a ritual for me in the fall of 2024 to the spring of 2025. Sam and Joel were my best friends! while I hustled as a part time mom, social worker, and closeted author. I too was working on my found family and I am so glad I found this book! I miss Sam and Joel and took my own turn to mourn the fact that season 4 would never happen. Thank you Jeff for narrating this book for us in your genuine voice. It felt like a good friend had come to stay and I didn't have to say good bye to them forever. I look forward to what you get up to next and then a new, juicy tell all where I can hear your refreshingly real and always entertaining banter about the side lines you travelled to get there once again. I miss you already, but know your vision board is endless.
