Today I’m going to run down some of my favorite comedy audiobooks that combine funny words with a funny voice (or 80). You’ll find some great stand-up comedy audiobooks, memoirs, and everything in between. Well, not everything. For example, you will find no books here on vegetal topics, which I assume would fall between stand-up and memoir. There will not be a single mention of ungulates, despite the fact that it is one of my favorite words. Just good old comedy, ha-haha audiobooks. Let’s go! If this list gets you excited for more, you’ll be glad to know that Book Riot contributors have previously set y’all up with some great lists of offbeat funny books. Check out these horror comedy books, read up on some excellent romantic comedy books, take note of these dark humor books to provoke your uneasy laughter, and, of course, hilarious comedy manga shouldn’t be overlooked. Hopefully these 15 comedy audiobooks are enough to get you started on your journey to laughing your pants off and then back on again. If not, write your own! And if nobody likes it, remember my mantra: “Fuck ’em if they can and/or cannot take a joke.” “If you love Seth Rogen then you should have already read this. If you don’t think you love Seth Rogen, I have news for you — you love Seth Rogen! This book is funny, heartfelt, honest, and down-to-earth. You’ll learn about his ridiculous meetings with Nick Cage, Seth’s father’s ‘refreshing’ attitude toward work (spoiler alert, he hates it — but for the most delightful reason), and you will laugh and laugh and laugh. Don’t believe me? Roxane Gay described this collection as ‘fucking delightful’ so unless you hate delight, you will love this book.“ Then the book is narrated not just by Seth and his great/terrible laugh, but by 80 additional narrators. Yes, 8-0. Check it out, I personally guarantee that you will love it. (Legal note: “Guarantee,” in this usage, simply means that if you do not like this audiobook I will say, “Whoops, you’re wrong!” There is no financial guarantee). But while the title reeled me in, as it turns out, one of the head writers for one of the longest-running comedy shows is indeed both a good writer and very funny!
