À propos de cet audio

 From “weird, scary, ingenious” (The New York Times) stand-up comedian Maria Bamford, an instant New York Times bestselling, brutally honest, and “laugh-out-loud funny” (Jennette McCurdy, #1 New York Times bestselling author) memoir about show business, mental health, and the comfort of rigid belief systems—from Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People, to Richard Simmons, to 12-step programs.

Maria Bamford is a comedian’s comedian (an outsider among outsiders) and has forever fought to find a place to belong. From struggling with an eating disorder as a child of the 1980s, to navigating a career in the arts (and medical debt and psychiatric institutionalization), she has tried just about every method possible to not only be a part of the world, but to want to be a part of it.

In Bamford’s “trademark blend of disarming intimacy and dark whimsy” (Publishers Weekly), Sure, I’ll Join Your Cultbrings us on a quest to participate in something. With sincerity and transparency, she recounts every anonymous fellowship she has joined (including but not limited to: Debtors Anonymous, Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous, and Overeaters Anonymous), every hypomanic episode (from worrying about selling out under capitalism to enforcing union rules on her Netflix TV show set to protect her health), and every easy 1-to-3-step recipe for fudge in between.

Packed with “Bamford’s brilliance, relentless humor, and insatiable instinct for survival (Library Journal), this memoir explores what it means to keep going, and to be a member of society (or any group she’s invited to) despite not being very good at it. In turn, she hopes to transform isolating experiences into comedy that will make you feel less alone (without turning into a cult following).

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Stand-up comic Maria Bamford shows her sense of timing, audience, and humor as she narrates her memoir. Upbeat and whimsical, she begins by defining sounds that signal what’s coming: Brakes squealing, for example, heralds “creepy stuff.” She also warns listeners that her memoir will not follow a linear structure. Indeed, while pondering bouts of mental illness and her need to belong, Bamford continually takes detours that are filled with irreverent, laugh-worthy details; salty language; and tongue-in-cheek observations. All are delivered at breakneck speed as she discusses topics that range from self-help programs to Suzuki violin training. While sometimes distracting, the brisk nonstop humor buoys Bamford’s moments of candor in stories about her mother’s evangelical leanings and death. Bamford’s portraits of others are seamlessly integrated, and her witty transitions work well."

Love everything about this. Maria is funny, sharp, silly, weird, and somehow feels like a friend without ever meeting her.

The holy grail of Maria Bamfordity

I couldn’t be more delighted to have listened to Maria’s tale of mental illness and the rocky road to successful adulting, even though I knew the basic story arc from Lady Dynamite and her many stand up specials. The audio format is ideal, providing her trademark delivery, hilarious voices and sound effects. I expect I will re-listen periodically for the laughs, the wackadoo advice and especially, gentle encouragement from a truly humble (and genuinely wonderful) minor celebrity. Thank goodness Maria is compelled to over-share.

Audiobook done right!

I highly recommend this. Super funny, insightful, smart and relatable. I got to know Maria throughout the book, and she feels like a friend! My favourite was the Suzuki violin memoir.

Hilarious and relatable

Maria spills out everything, the good, the bad and the ugly…and the funny. Uncomfortable honesty to open our eyes to so many struggles, hers, our own and others.

Painfully Honest at Times

A uniquely open and honest memoir. Maria lays out all of herself in the wonderfully relatable way she presents her stand-up.

This was an interesting and humours book to listen to. I’ve been a fan of Maria’s comedy for many years and it was illuminating to hear more about her personal life story and journey through the self-help / mental health system in the US. This book is a must listen if you are a fan of Maria’s stand up. If you are new to her work get ready for some serious white mid-western humour. That is passive agressive truth bombs and impersonations of Christian white women in their middle age. It is a very kind and real look at the challenges of mental health and I really appreciated Maria’s honesty.

Thoughtful and hilarious

If I had the same way with words as Maria does with her honesty and wit, I’d probably be able to make a much better review. Since I’m not capable, I’ll just say that if you’re a fan of Maria’s work, then you’ll be tickled pink by this audiobook that not only finds a way to whistle in the darkness but also be more real than most memoirs about mental illness.

Incredible
