Tom Segura

essays

Tom Segura is known for his twisted takes and irreverent comedic voice. But after a few years of crazy tours and churning out podcasts weekly, all while parenting two young children, he desperately needs to hide from all of them. It's not that he hates his friends and family - he's not a monster - he's just wrecked, which is why his son's (ruthless) first full sentence, "I'd like to play alone, please," has since become his mantra. In this collection of true stories, Tom combines his signature curmudgeonly humor with a revealing look at some of the ridiculous situations that shaped him and the ludicrous characters who always seem to seek him out. The hilarious tales include Tom's time on the road hoping to get paid and avoid being assaulted by his opening act, the trials and tribulations of raising a son with bizarrely morbid interests, and experiences with his dad, who, like any good baby boomer father, loved to talk about his bowel movements and share graphic Vietnam War stories. All of this is enough to make anyone want some peace and quiet
