Your Dad Stole My Rake Had Me Cracking Up
5 out of 5 stars
I knew going into this that I was going to love it. I’ve been a fan of Papa’s stand up for years now and with every comedian’s book I’ve read (so far) – it’s just made me like them more. Your Dad Stole My Rake was no different.
From stories about dealing with family, kids, being a guy – to describing the different kinds of dads – Your Dad Stole My Rake is a collection of stories and thoughts about different topics that affect him and his life make this deeply relatable and incredibly enjoyable. Papa had me laughing so hard on my morning commute that other drivers were looking over at me like I was the weirdo (we’re all weirdos).
It’s hard to describe a book that I enjoyed and needed this much because I know that not everyone will like it – but if you are a fan of Papa’s comedy (especially the topics that he talks about on stage and in his specials) then this book is definitely for you. He only reused one bit (that I could remember) from his specials, which genuinely surprises me.
If you need something to cheer you up and make you laugh on your morning commute (especially if you’re a dad) then this book is for you.
