Perfect for you if...

You appreciate comedians who won't sanitise their worst moments for the sake of likability.
You've followed Laura's sketches online and want to know what's actually true versus what she invented.
You're drawn to memoirs that prove transformation doesn't require becoming a different person, just a less self-destructive one.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer inspirational narratives with clear before-and-after messaging and minimal profanity.
You want memoir that stays tasteful about addiction and mental illness rather than mining it for laughs.
You're looking for practical self-help advice rather than someone's chaotic life story told for entertainment.

About this book

Idiot is a collection of comedic essays by Laura Clery, a YouTube star and Facebook Video creator. The book recounts Clery's personal journey through a series of life stories told with her characteristic offbeat humor. Clery describes her transformation from a period marked by impulsivity, financial instability, suicidal ideation, cocaine addiction, and a pattern of toxic relationships to a life that includes meditation, veganism, financial stability, a strong marriage, a successful career, and four rescue animals. Throughout the essays, she maintains her comedic voice while exploring how her life changed over time. The book features Clery's signature brand of humor as she discusses her work creating comedy sketches and songs for online audiences, her relationship with her husband Stephen, and her rescue pug. Clery describes herself as an idiot while presenting herself as a talented and vulnerable voice.
