I listened to the audiobook version of this book, narrated by Martin Short
Before listening to this audiobook, I knew little about Martin Short. I knew he was a successful comedian, and had seen a few of his film roles. No, I had never seen his comedy sketches, stints on SNL, etc.
Being in my 20's, I missed many of Martin's references. I didn't know many of the famous people he talked about. That is not a flaw of the book, but rather a flaw in my pop culture knowledge. The book itself was just another book, but it is Martin Short's impressions that make the audiobook stand out. Honestly, I couldn't imagine why anyone would read the physical book instead of listening to the audiobook. The references I understood had me laughing aloud, and you could hear the love in Martin's voice for his friends and family.
Thank you for inviting us readers into your life Mr. Short.
Listened to this one, and got teary-eyed when he talked about his wife dying; even more so when he described how he still has conversations with her. Seems like a decent guy.
Audio book people. Audio book all the way. You are missing out on something awesome if you merely read the physical copy.
This was a great memoir. I laughed, cried, and couldn't stop listening.
Really interesting to hear the inside stories about that fabled Godspell production, and the last three chapters concerning his wife's cancer diagnosis and eventual demise were heartbreaking and beautiful.
Get the audiobook so you can hear his character work. Definitely worth a listen.
