Bob Odenkirk’s timing and comic persona animate this inward-looking memoir, Comedy Comedy Comedy Drama. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile contributor Alan Minskoff discuss Odenkirk’s narration of his story, where his Chicago accent and whip-smart sense of humor permeate his reading. He narrates and writes his work with a self-conscious wit, and his audiobook is a candid story of “try, try, and try again” told with panache and a boatload of insider riffs. Best known for his fine work as Saul Goodman, the likable sleaze on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, Odenkirk’s memoir is funny and revealing.
