A BOOK TIMES BESTSELLER RANTING TWO
Hugely popular stand-up comic and co-host of the #1 podcasts "2 Bears 1 Cave" and "Your Mom's House," funny true anecdotes about parenting, meeting celebrities, making dumb errors as a youngster, misanthropy, and much more.
Tom Segura is renowned for his caustic humorous voice and warped perspectives. But he really needs some alone time after a few years of hectic tours and weekly podcast releases while raising two small kids. He is just beat, which is why his son's (ruthless) first complete remark, "I'd like to play alone, please," has since become his motto. It's not that he despises his friends and family—he's not a monster.
In this anthology of tales, Tom blends his trademark sardonic humor with an insightful examination of some of the absurd circumstances that molded him and the absurd people who seem to be drawn to him constantly. The stories contain hilarious anecdotes about Tom's travels, including some bizarre celebrity encounters he had at airports; his raw South American family; the difficulties of raising small children with oddly morbid interests; and, most memorable of all, stories about his dad, who, like any good Baby Boomer father, loved to share graphic Vietnam War stories and talk about his bowel movements at inappropriate times. Anyone may want for some peaceful time after reading this.
In a world where people are becoming more and more mad, Segura's I'D LIKE TO PLAY ALONE, PLEASE will have readers laughing out and nodding in agreement. Sometimes all you need is to be alone yourself.
