Ali Wong‘s standup specials on Netflix made me laugh out loud, and I even went to see her live in Massachusetts back in 2018! Apparently, I love memoirs written and read by comedians because I’ve already listened to Amy Poehler’s memoir, and I listened to Colin Jost ‘s memoir right after Ali’s. When I was listening to Ali Wong’s memoir, I felt like it was just like her standup! In a series of essays addressed to her two young daughters, Ali talks about about her life growing up as a mixed ethnicity (Chinese and Vietnamese) Asian woman growing up in California, her hard work trying to make it in standup comedy, her fun times in college, her trouble dating in New York City, and all the challenges she faces as a mother.
