Bert is the Life of the Party, and will have you dying of laughter throughout!

5 stars

DISCLAIMER: I am a HUGE Bert fan, from his stand-up to his ridiculous TV shows (Hurt Bert, Trip Flip), to his podcast. Actually, his podcast is where I heard that he had written a book. I’m a HUGE fan of comedians who write books, especially books like this–where he basically tells stories about things that have happened in his life. Honestly, these could all be stand-up bits, if he were a Mike Birbiglia (Birbigs has an amazing book: Sleepwalk With Me).

Now, on Bert’s podcast he mentioned how awful the audiobook of this was, but to be honest, it made it for me. I NEEDED to hear these stories told in Bert’s giggly and giddy voice. I just love hearing someone get into a story that they wrote down and lived. Kreischer is one of those dudes that he opens himself up to you and you just feel like you can really connect with him.

Yes, there are nasty stories in here (pizza box), and absolutely hysterical tales too (The Machine), there is some heartwarming stories too–with just enough “what the hell is wrong with me” added to it to make it funny again.

If you are a Bert Kreischer fan, read this… even better, get the audiobook, numerous times he breaks the “narrator” role and goes off–so funny. If you are a fan of OUTRAGEOUS stories, this book is also for you.

Bert does not think that anyone cared/cares to listen to this, but I felt the polar opposite.  I think that everyone needs to hear Life of the Party –  ESPECIALLY if you are a fan of stand up.  Bert is a natural storyteller, and there aren’t many out there that are better than him.  This collection of stories will have you shaking your head in disbelief and grabbing at the sleeve of your shirt to wipe away the tears from laughter.
