About this listen

One of Australia’s favourite and most multitalented entertainers provides hilarious and honest life advice in this candid collection of cautionary tales.

Kitty Flanagan has been locked in an industrial freezer in Western Australia and insulted about the size of her lady parts in Singapore and borne witness to the world’s most successful wife swap in suburban Sydney. It’s these valuable lessons from The University of Life that have taught her so many things, including the fact that cliches like ‘The University of Life’ are reeeally annoying.

In these funny, true stories, Kitty provides advice you didn’t even know you needed. Useful tips on how not to get murdered while hitchhiking, how to break up with someone the wrong way and the right way, why it’s important to keep your top on while waitressing and why women between the ages of 37 and 42 should be banned from Internet dating.

Bridge Burning and Other Hobbies is a collection of laugh-out-loud, cautionary tales from one of Australia’s favourite comedians.

Loved this. So funny with Kitty Flanagan herself reading. Listened to it while doing my excruciatingly dull physio stretches and made them much easier to do.

Hilarious and highly recommended.

Kitty is as neurotic as they come but so transparent and hilarious you kind of feel for her and almost root for her in her self-confessed insanity.

Hilarious

This as a good book to read, but a great one to listen to. Hearing Kitty recite her experiences, life's lessons and those odd moments that seem to come her way was sheer delight. She's funny in that dry way we've seen her do and this book is full of it. Hearing her tell her stories, feels like you're having a catch up in the kitchen over a cuppa. Great fun and easy to listen to.

This is Kitty at her finest!

Love Kitty’s perspective of life and her unique way of taking something so simple and turning into a funny witty commentary. Very down to earth and I can relate to a lot of her stories and life experiences ie fairy bread, mum made party dresses and dads quirky antics.

Great laugh during a time we could all use a good laugh.

It was such a treat to have Kitty read me her story!

I laughed out (perhaps a little bit too) loud while on the elliptical trainer at the gym or while shopping for groceries

Loved it!
