Bonnie McFarlane
In the spirit of Mindy Kaling, Kelly Oxford, and Sarah Silverman, a compulsively listenable and outrageously funny memoir of growing up as a fish out of water, finding your voice, and embracing your inner crazy person from popular actress, writer, and comedian Bonnie McFarlane.
It took Bonnie McFarlane a lot of time, effort, and tequila to get to where she is today. Before she starred on Last Comic Standing and directed her own films, she was an inappropriately loud tomboy growing up on her parents' farm in Cold Lake, Canada, wetting her pants during standardized tests, and killing chickens. Desperate to find "her people" - like-minded souls who wouldn't judge her because she was honest, ruthless, and, okay, sometimes really rude - Bonnie turned to comedy.
In her explosively funny and no-holds-barred memoir, Bonnie tells it like it is and lays bare all of her smart (and not-so-smart) decisions along her way to finding her friends and her comedic voice. From fistfights in elementary school to riding motorcycles to the World Famous Comic Strip to Late Night with David Letterman and through to her infamous C word bit on Last Comic Standing, You're Better than Me is her funny and outrageous trip through the good, bad, and ugly of her life in comedy. McFarlane doesn't always keep her mouth shut when she should, but at least she makes people laugh. And that's all that matters, right?

What does Bonnie McFarlane and Alexander Cendese bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I couldn't have heard the correct tone in her telling of any of her experiences.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The kitten. Bonnie's heart shows throughout the whole book but Hollywood's rescue really moved me.Any additional comments?
I bought this book with no expectations as I didn't know much about the author. I loved the way she narrated, the things she shared about the things we all have inside of us but can't say out loud, and I especially loved hearing about her childhood...that she got the gift that many of us missed out on-old school values and a foundation that teaches through example about how to work hard for what one has. It teaches us to appreciate what matters. She's so honest and humble. Still a real person even after 'making it big'. I'm a new fan.Wonderful. Humble.

I'm lucky to be able to call Bonnie a friend and the word 'proud' doesn't even begin to share how I feel about her and this book. Another word could be 'bullshit!' - even though I know Bonnie very well and I'm profoundly aware of how funny she is - I can't believe she actually wrote the whole thing! By herself! Congratulations! Any reader or listener is in for a treat - Bonnie shares her humor, he life and her talent with us in "You're Better Than Me". Awesome.
Totally Rad, Man. The bomb!
