MAEVE IN AMERICA Essays by a Girl from Somewhere Else

In this audiobook memoir, comedian Maeve Higgins presents stories about her family and friends, her world travels, and some mistakes in her life. She uses a soft Irish lilt to great effect when she tells family tales and gives a much stronger presentation when she discusses her values and her opinions about comedy. She is not above creating sound effects for her funniest story, which involves dolphins trying to kill her--complete with hilarious screams, gurgles, and spluttering as she is nearly drowned. Listeners will enjoy hearing a complex comedian who writes funny, thinks funny, and can add physical comedy when needed. E.E.S. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2018]
