Publisher's summary

Tiffany Haddish is back with her highly anticipated new essay collection, I Curse You With Joy.

It’s been a minute since listeners last sat down with Tiffany Haddish. Since The Last Black Unicorn, Haddish has catapulted to A-List fame as the breakout star of Girls Trip. She’s walked the Oscars red carpet, released a hit stand-up special with Netflix, and made history as the first black female comedian to host Saturday Night Live and Shark Week.

But it hasn’t been all VIP parties and free diving with apex predators. In these humorous and heartfelt essays, Tiffany gets real about the highs and lows of life. Believe it or not, there was a time when Tiffany didn’t totally know who Tiffany was. Before she found her groove, she was on stage dressed like her snobby airline coworkers telling halfhearted dick jokes. She tanked.

It took a fake penis, some help from friends, and a little encouragement from Bob Saget, but eventually Tiffany figured out Tiffany. I Curse You With Joy celebrates all the lessons she learned along the way—the joy and the pain. Tiffany reckons with the legacy of her childhood trauma, the challenges of being a black woman in the entertainment industry, and her bittersweet reunion with her estranged father after nearly twenty years apart. And don’t worry, she’s got plenty of advice to share, too.

I Curse You With Joy is Tiffany Haddish unfiltered. (We know what you’re thinking... how much more unfiltered can she get?) These essays lay it all bare, bringing listeners into Tiffany’s inner circle where joy, honesty, humor, and heart are the order of the day.

Extra laughs exclusive to the audiobook edition: A Bonus Blooper Reel!

She's Just Like Us

Very inspiring, moving, and relevant. Haddish proves once again that she is just like us, a spirit having a human experience. She laughs, cries, gets embarrassed, angry, and joyful. Better yet, she shows her humanity by using her blessings to be a blessing to others. Be blessed by reading this book.

Tiffany’s story was crazy, but her modest approach to life is an admirable trait.

I liked it all, her humor through pain is admirable and her humble approach to her trials and tribulations is amazing.

Tiffany Haddish rules.

Her emotional range is mesmerizing and a lot of fun. Her honesty and vulnerability is refreshing. And she’s still totally down to earth after all her amazing success. I’m a 50 year old white man and I loved this book. But I pretty much love everything she does. Tiffany Haddish rules!

Proof that from adversity, Gods truest purpose and love is revealed.

I loved listening to how hard work and dedication can be realized with a good attitude and heart for Gods people. Thank you for sharing your story and continuing to bring a lightness to the world brought through by comedy and love. You’re amazing. I’d love to go for a walk and chat with Tiffany in her beautiful garden and learn more about her abundant knowledge and wisdom through life experience. Teaches ladies- do not quit. Keep going. You’re worth it. You’re enough. Inspirational for me as I live out my own purpose given to me by God! Thank you!

Love Her..

And now I’m Ready!!
A adult success story that’s still in the works of growing, learning & making life do what it do, Her way! Such an inspiration to listen to, laughing all the while! The high energy, the voices of the men, women, children are all so on point that you’re pulled into her world!! You find yourself takin notes regardless of your age or gender because Tiffany serves up plenty of the goods for a variety of those who chose to listen. And for those who chose not to listen, you’re missing out.. haven’t laughed at any other book as I did this one.. and yet, touched by the sincerity of the struggle, with a grin of how she’s overcome so much. Most importantly, how she’s given & continues to give back with aspirations of doing even more is a true testament of one great person.. Tiff, thank U

Real, Raw and Hilarious

Tiffany has a magical way of looking at the world and a wonderful ability to ring the joy and comedy out of even the most trying situations. There are a lot of gems of wisdom in this book and I laughed out loud many times while listening. Listening to her read her own story was wonderful, All in all I would recommend this book to anyone who needs to know that they are not alone in the struggles of being a human and navigating this life's ups and downs.
