Enjoyable and pretty funny! Silverman narrates and does a great job.
This is a pretty revealing book for the comedy world in 2010. Reading this after #MeToo, I think it really showed how things have changed. It was a fun read and interesting to hear about Sarah's growth as a comedian and adult. I recommend it!

So funny and smart! I loved this book and Sarah's crass voice. I laughed, I grimaced, and guffawed, especially at the end. Treat yourself and read this book!
I'm not sure what to say about this book. It's not for the easily offended might be the best trigger warning I can offer. That being said, if you're already a fan of Sarah's, this frank glimpse into the comedienne's life is rather entertaining. I imagine the audiobook, if read by Sarah, would be worthy of a higher star rating.
Sarah Silverman is a funny lady and her memoir The Bedwetter is all about her brand of humor. There are lots of penis and fart jokes of course, but there is also a lot of information about Sarah herself. She talks very candidly about her childhood and how she was depressed and wet the bed for years. She talks about her years doing stand-up and her life on television. There are whole passages transcribed from emails or phone messages. Silverman doesn't shy away from talking about the controversies in her past either. Her story is a bit scattered and definitely not chronological, but it is funny and a treat to listen to.
i found her surprisingly gracious and insightful, then tragic... and then blasphemous - as one would expect.
This memoir is a lot of things at once. It's Sarah Silverman doing her comedy, telling stories of her childhood, sharing her life as a stand-up/comedy writer in a world of mostly men, and her mea culpa/I'm sorry (but not really) apology letter. It's jarring and strange and sometimes hilarious and often cringeworthy. We go from the heartbreaking death of her little brother, to fart jokes, to body hair, to which racial slur is better to use in a joke on television. It's schizophrenic and odd and interesting and awful and funny and strange. I don't think I could have made it through if I was just reading it, but hearing Sarah Silverman reading it brings some delight and emotions that I don't think would have come through in just the words.
