About this listen

 Grammy Award Nominee for Best Spoken Word Album!

Steve Martin's talent has always defied definition: an actor who's kept us riveted for over 25 years, a razor-sharp screenwriter, an acclaimed playwright. In this ingeniously funny collection of humorous riffs, those who thought Martin's gifts were confined to the screen will discover what readers of The New Yorker magazine already know: that Martin is a master of the written word.
Hilariously funny and intelligent in their skewering of the topic at hand, the audiobook's pieces, some of which first appeared in The New Yorker, feature Martin at his finest.
With a playwright's ear for dialogue, a sense of irony only Steve Martin could muster, and a first-class comic ability to perfectly time the punch line, Pure Drivel will have listeners crying with laughter, and marveling at the fact that in addition to all of his many talents, Steve Martin is also a superb writer.©1998 40 Share Productions, Inc.; (P)1998 Simon & Schuster Audio, All Rights Reserved, AUDIOWORKS Is an Imprint of Simon & Schuster Audio Division, Simon & Schuster Inc.

Purity has been confirmed by my DEA-issued home drivel testng kit. Could cut this a thousand times and STILL make more money than a billionaire in 2020. More addictive than meth, I was hooked on it within seconds.

The purest drivel ever drivved.

I love Steve Martin's off beat and unique brand of humour. I became a huge fan when he starred in Roxanne, a modern day take on the Cyrano de Bergerac tale. He is a comic genius, I loved this!

There are some funny quips, clever writing, and a few good one liners in this two hour performance, but you have to sit and wait for them. Would be much better as a real book, Steve narrating it himself, unfortunately didn't add much.

Old, slow, and dated.
