Girl Walks into a Bar...: Comedy Calamities, Dating Disasters, and a Midlife Miracle [Audiobook]




Girl Walks into a Bar…: Comedy Calamities, Dating Disasters, and a Midlife Miracle [Audiobook] by Rachel Dratch


English | April 3, 2012 | ASIN: B007R6B0AY | MP3@64 kbps | 5 hrs 12 mins | 148 MB

Narrator: Rachel Dratch | Genre: Nonfiction/Memoir/Humor




In this side-splitting memoir, the former Saturday Night Live star recounts the hilarious adventures and unexpected joy of dating and becoming a mother when she least expected it – at the age of 44.




Anyone who saw an episode of Saturday Night Live between 1999 and 2006 knows Rachel Dratch. She was hilarious! So what happened to her? After a misbegotten part as Jenna on the pilot of 30 Rock, Dratch was only getting offered roles as "Lesbians. Secretaries. Sometimes secretaries who are lesbians."




Her career at a low point, Dratch suddenly had time for yoga, dog-sitting, learning Spanish – and dating. After all, what did a forty-something single woman living in New York have to lose? Resigned to childlessness but still hoping for romance, Dratch was out for drinks with a friend when she met John.




Handsome and funny, after only six months of dating long-distance, he became the inadvertent father of her wholly unplanned, undreamed-of child and moved to New York to be a dad. With riotous humor, Dratch recounts breaking the news to her bewildered parents, the awe of her single friends, and the awkwardness of a baby-care class where the instructor kept tossing out the f-word.




Filled with great behind-the-scenes anecdotes from Dratch"s time on SNL, Girl Walks into a Bar is a refreshing version of the "happily ever after" story that proves female comics – like best sellers Tina Fey and Chelsea Handler – are truly having their moment.
