About this listen

 In her hit Netflix comedy special Baby Cobra, an eight-month pregnant Ali Wong resonated so strongly that she even became a popular Halloween costume. Wong told the world her remarkably unfiltered thoughts on marriage, sex, Asian culture, working women, and why you never see new mum comics on stage but you sure see plenty of new dads.

The sharp insights and humour are even more personal in this completely original collection. She shares the wisdom she's learned from a life in comedy and reveals stories from her life offstage, including the brutal single life in New York (i.e. the inevitable confrontation with erectile dysfunction), reconnecting with her roots (and drinking snake blood) in Vietnam, tales of being a wild child growing up in San Francisco, and parenting war stories. Though addressed to her daughters, Ali Wong's letters are absurdly funny, surprisingly moving, and enlightening (and gross) for all.©2019 Ali Wong (P)2019 Penguin Random House Australia Audio Asian & Pacific Islander Creators Motherhood Parenting & Families Performing Arts Relationships Funny Comedy Witty Heartfelt Inspiring New York

I laughed out loud. I cried. I was totally moved by this open and honest letter to daughters. It should be mandatory for all parents to write a book. Thanks for sharing Ali x

I have loved Ali Wong since I first saw Baby Cobra and I continue to love everything she does. So unapologetically herself and just hilarious. What a beautiful book she has created for her daughters.

Loved it!

I expected the humour so expertly delivered by Ali Wong but was also treated to a touching account of her life and experiences. A good listen.

Entertaining and heartfelt

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Ali Wong provides a refreshingly blunt set of letters giving insight into the world of standup, and balancing being a working mother and wife. Addressed primarily to her girls, the letters provide entertainment and worldly advice for any woman on topics like childbirth, courting, and making a career, without sparing the gory detail!

Full of laugh-out-loud moments, almost entirely unsafe for work, this is a memoir worth a listen for the series of strange looks you'll get laughing aloud to yourself.
