Throughout her twenties, Haddish continued to suffer trauma and hardship at the hands of her significant others, ranging from betrayal to full-on physical abuse. To further hone and refine her skill as a young comedian, Haddish attended Laugh Factory Comedy Camp, getting her foot in the door at a young age at one of the most prestigious comedy clubs in Los Angeles. She would tell jokes to keep bullies in group homes from beating her up, as well as to convince her peers in school to let her copy off of their homework. With a natural gift for joke-telling and entertaining, Haddish used her comedy as a tool for dealing with the trauma in her early life. Though the book is non-chronological, Haddish begins with a look into her childhood, where abuse, illiteracy, molestation, and foster care forced her to develop some severe coping mechanisms.
Proving that some of the best comedy can come from the darkest places, Haddish offers a brutally honest look inside the circumstances that shaped her trajectory as a household name. With self-contained chapters, a conversational style, and unbelievable stories, this book truly provides a unique and never-before-seen look into Haddish's personal and professional life. This collection of essays gives her audience a look into the hardships, laughs, and jaw-dropping events that shaped both the comedian and the comedy itself.
