Summary
In this brilliantly entertaining and heartfelt memoir, beloved star and comic maverick Bob Odenkirk writes honestly about the highs and lows of showbiz: his work on infamous cult comedy Mr. Show, as a performer and writer on legendary series such as The Larry Sanders Show and Saturday Night Live, becoming everyone's favourite lawyer in global hit TV series' Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, and what it's like to reinvent himself as an action film ass-kicker at 50 in Nobody. Bob Odenkirk's career is inexplicable. And yet he will try like hell to explicate it for you....
Featuring humorous tangents, wild characters and Bob's trademark unflinching drive and humour, Comedy Comedy Comedy Drama is a classic showbiz tale told by a determined idiot.

Hardworking should be Bob's middle name
You sit and watch all these wonderful films/TV series and barely give a thought how the actors ever got their lucky breaks. But with this memoir of Bob Owenkirk you are given a full life tour how harsh it is to get your nose through the door and be successful. Please don't skip to the Breaking bad chapter without listening to what it was like for Bob who slept on sofa's to scrapping his way to the top with Better call Saul.A really enjoyable listen

Interesting account of American comedy
Really enjoyed, and learned from, this book. Admittedly, I was unfamiliar with a lot of Odenkirk’s earlier work, but it certainly didn’t impede my enjoyment of the book. Would recommend to anyone vaguely infested in comedy, American culture and, of course, Bob Odenkirk and his back-catalogue!

This was funny. Good. Humane and I learned a lot from it. Not better call Saul dependent, lawbreaking bad.

A great story, but takes too long to get to Saul!
I really enjoyed Bobs story - the cadence of his voice took a little getting used to, however I felt compelled to listen on.
The elephant in the room is that it takes until Chapter 9 to get to what most might get this book for: Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.
Having not been exposed to Bobs comedy ventures, the early chapters didn’t resonate. Maybe US listeners familiar with this period will enjoy them. I did find some Mr Show episodes on YT though.
It’s still a great listen, as Bobs determination and willingness to try new things are inspiring.

Nice, Nice, Nice, Burn!
It’s great to hear, In this candid autobiography, that maybe Bob isn’t quite the nice guy all the time.
It flew by, would have happily had another chapter or two.
