About this listen

Smart comedy meets cosmic chaos… and somehow makes sense.

Meet The Ridiculous, an Amazon #1 bestseller in Comedy, Science Fiction, Happiness, and a Top 5 Audible hit in Humorous Science Fiction. It’s packed with clever chaos, sharp satire, and laugh-out-loud fun.

A human trapped in the wrong body, an android searching to understand emotions, a singing-loving budgie, and a stand-up-comic spaceship try to make sense of a universe that refuses to make sense. What follows is a cosmic carnival of absurd adventures, witty banter, and surprising heart.

Readers call it “wildly fun,” “bonkers but brilliant,” and “a laugh-out-loud ride through a fantastical universe.”

If you enjoy smart humor, quirky characters, and stories that blend absurdity with warmth, you’ll feel right at home with The Ridiculous. Available as eBook, paperback, hardcover, and audiobook. Scroll up and get your copy today.

Watch for The Ridiculous: Book 2 launching early 2026.

The book has been written in a unique style that educates and brings us as the reader to a better understanding of the world and how life works. As a coach in the self help space I really enjoyed the way the authors bought to my awareness with humour some of the aspects of self empowerment. If you want a laugh, a good story and a better understanding on how to be better this is worth the listen.
