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!

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!

Enlightening...Raw...Powerful... while still being funny

Another great book by Tiffany Haddish. She blends the rawness of her life into humorous stories that you can't help but root for her. If only more comedians, and other celebrities were this open and honest about their upbringing. I'm hopeful that many women, and men too, find strength to overcome the less than ideal circumstances in their childhood and become powerful adults by listening to Tiffany's book and seeing what a positive example she is.

The Teal Tiffany

I found this title to be more of Tiffany’s “real” self. Tiffany has had many personal defining moments throughout her life and I applaud her for how she has faces her challenges. Loved it🩷

Tiffany’s empathy shines through!

Tiffany Haddish is a bright light in our sometimes cold, dark world. She brings joy to everyone who discovers her. She’s overcome so much adversity and she’s learned a lot of hard lessons no young one should ever have to learn. She makes sure the foster care youth of today have a bit more than she had when she was coming up. And she is a lot smarter than she might ever know! This book is a great follow-up to The Last Black Unicorn. Both are wonderful books. You’ll learn so much from reading both! Tiffany is a fabulous teacher in life!
