Listened to the audiobook which was good since tom is great at telling stories. This is a great introduction for people new to Tom. But if you have listened to his stand up and watch his podcast, you would have heard of most of these stories before.

This book was mediocre until he spent a whole chapter trying to justify the Rword. Not a good vibe. Wouldn’t recommend

Set up like a classic comedian, memoir; series of funny stories, and vignettes. More personal than his stand up, but just as funny.

Comedian Tom Segura delivers a truly funny set of essays that tell a bit about his life and history with comedy in I'd Like to Play Alone, Please. While I am not familiar with Segura, I did enjoy and actually laugh out loud at some of the stories that he told. I will probably look him up on Netflix now, when previously I didn't have any knowledge of him. I do enjoy reading "memoir-type" books, and hearing about all the people that he has sat next too in flights was probably the most entertaining. Loved the Mike Tyson story! All in all, Segura seems like a down to Earth guy that just enjoys making people laugh. Was a nice easy afternoon read.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced reader copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

If you have heard his stand up or his podcast you might know a lot of details about Tom's life, I do not listen to the podcast so this book was a lot of fun. I found out little details about stories enlightening and enjoyable.
