I'd Like to Play Alone, Please

About This Book

A #2 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER from a massively successful stand-up comedian and co-host of chart-topping podcasts “2 Bears 1 Cave” and “Your Mom’s House,” this book features hilarious real-life stories of parenting, celebrity encounters, youthful mistakes, misanthropy, and much more. After years of crazy tours and churning out weekly podcasts while parenting two young children, Segura often feels the need for solitude. His son’s first full sentence, “I’d like to play alone, please,” has become his mantra. The book combines Tom's signature curmudgeonly humor with revealing moments about the ridiculous situations he’s faced and the ludicrous characters he encounters. The stories include wild anecdotes from his time on the road, encounters with celebrities, and the trials of raising two children with peculiar interests, along with humorous tales of his father. It's an exploration of the need for peace amid the chaos of life.
