Comedian, writer, producer, and actress - Phoebe Robinson does it all and her latest book, Please Don't Sit On My Bed in Your Outside Clothes, is timely, funny, serious, and perfect social commentary.
cover blurb - Turns out me looking like a bootleg Diana Ross on this book's cover is not enough to entice folks to read it.
We've all been through a trying time, which is why I wrote something to make you laugh until you pee a little, feel until you want to rage a little, and think until you want to go back to laughing a little.
Yep. That sums it up. She's got a wide variety - quarantining with her white British boyfriend, Black Lives Matter, a decision to not have kids, her time with Michelle Obama, black hair, and running multiple companies. I laughed out loud a lot. I also gleaned truths and learned a bit about another perspective.
p. 104 On how she hates unnecessary Zoom meetings and believes in email: So in the future, when you want to set a Zoom, ask yourself, Could this be an email? If the answer is "yes", then b*#ch, clickety-clack, click click on your keyboard like a Delta Airlines employee trying to rebook you on a flight and keep it moving.
Just that little example gives you an idea of the tone and teensy observations that are SO true. I got this book from the library and enjoyed it immensely. I'll look for her stand-up specials. Phoebe Robinson is cool, hot, gifted, and hysterical.
I agree with her re zoom meetings - I had my first one this past week! She's obviously full of opinions and ideas and style! ... it sounds an enticing read ... I'll keep an eye open for it ... cheers Hilry
ReplyDeleteIt's a different sassy tone with spot on observations. I laughed a lot.
Delete"And Fart" should be added to the title.
ReplyDeleteha! she would like that, no doubt, and agree
