Publisher's summary

Welcome to a comedic trip through the life of one of the country’s most exciting comedians. Meet Dulcé Sloan, whose life has been an incredible journey filled with lessons and laughter. In addition to doing stand-up around the world, Dulcé is a trained actor, singer, and has been a correspondent on The Daily Show on Comedy Central.

Dulcé Sloan’s first memoir is organized into essays from her life. From a childhood moving between cities, starting her own business selling toys at a Miami flea market, to being a Black kid in a predominately White school, she’s always used her masterful wit to challenge the status quo. Her purpose in comedy unfolded while navigating clubs and the set of The Daily Show. Have you ever dated an adult who roller skated, or went out with a mechanic just to get free auto service? Yup, she’s got that story for you. Her stories are both wildly entertaining and culturally resonant.

Dulcé Sloan is one of the sharpest, fastest-rising voices in comedy. Bust magazine calls her “comedy gold,” while IndieWire describes her as “a fresh and unique voice in the world of stand-up comedy.” She was included in Variety’s prestigious Top Ten Comedians to Watch list, and Slink magazine just crowned her “The New Queen of Comedy.” Rolling Stone recently hailed her as one of the Ten Comedians You Need to Know. As a correspondent on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show with Trevor Noah since 2017, her segments have garnered millions of views. Dulcé stars as one of the voices on the animated FOX series The Great North, joining an ensemble of comedy heavyweights, including Will Forte, Jenny Slate, Nick Offerman, and Megan Mullally.

What a hoot!

I caught her interview about the book on a talk show and decided to give it a try. Love leaning more about the life and times of Ms Sloan's was a delightful visit to her history and her humor. She reads it herself so it's like a 5 hour version of her stand-up performance. Wonderful!

She is a real as they come

I found this audio book to be very funny and real life happening. I have lived in Georgia so I can relate and picture the areas she described. I really didn't know who she was but I am so glad I chose this book. Her voice is everything!!!!

Hilarious!

Dulce’ is hilarious. Her reading of this book is more like a performance. There’s no way reading it yourself could be as entertaining or evoke as much laughter. Thanks for sharing your journey. It was priceless!

Indomitable, phenomenal woman … but loud.

I wasn’t expecting something titled “Hello, Friends!” and sporting smiles and sunny colors to have
F bombs. That’s probably on me, since I haven’t watched a comedy sketch since the 90s.

This was sassy and brassy, and narrated with lots of sentences ending with shouty exclamations.
The middle part ran a bit long as we got an extended blow by blow of every relationship, but I enjoyed Dulce’s energetic delivery. Despite the F bombs, this was overall a positive, fun listening experience.

Great anecdotes but hard to follow

The author hilariously retells some of her best anecdotes that shaped her career in the arts. the stories are very candid and eye-opening at times. however, the author jumps back and forth between tales without much warning. moreover the chapters themselves seem out of order chronologically.

Energetic Presentation!

This is a superbly funny tale revealing the need for some to remind others of their place in this life. Well written truths! Brava!

dulce is always a delight

just as engaging as I expected, like listening to a good friend tell you a story about their life.
