Best Spoken Word Grammy Award nominee!Â
From stand-up comedian and actress Tiffany Haddish comes The Last Black Unicorn, a hilarious, edgy, and heart-wrenching collection of autobiographical essays that will leave you laughing through tears.Â
Tiffany Haddish grew up in one of the poorest parts of South Central Los Angeles. Her mother wound up with a debilitating brain injury after surviving a car accident. Tiffany never fit in anywhere not in the households she rotated through in the foster care system and certainly not at the nearly all white high school she had to ride the bus an hour to attend. As an illiterate ninth grader, Tiffany did everything she could to survive. After a multitude of jobs, she finally realized that she had talent in an area she never would have suspected comedy. Tiffany faced the 'routine' hindrances of climbing the entertainment business ladder - but had the added obstacles of sex, race, and class in her way. But she got there. She's humble, grateful, down to earth, and funny as hell. She still cleans the toilet the way she was shown by a foster mom who worked as a maid, and she still rolls her joints the way one of her foster dads taught her.Â
Tiffany can't avoid being funny It's just who she is. But The Last Black Unicorn is so much more than a side-splittingly hilarious collection of essays - it's a memoir of the struggles of one woman who came from nothing and nowhere. A woman who was able to achieve her dreams by reveling in her pain and awkwardness, showing the world who she really is, and inspiring others through the power of laughter.Â

"In the middle of reading this book, I was laughing at one of the many hilarious parts, and my husband asked me, "What is going on with you today?" I looked up and said, "Honey, is it wrong to have a non-sexual girl crush on Tiffany Haddish?" My husband said, not missing a beat, "A non-sexual girl crush? ...Yes."
Well folks, if loving Tiffany Haddish is wrong, I don't want to be right. This book is awesome sauce. It is an unflinching memoir that I hope will be as legendary as she probably will. This woman is a magical creature. I admire the hell out of her. I read it in 24 hours and couldn't put it down. You will laugh like a crazy person, cry like another one, but most of all you will get a glimpse into the mind of a comic genius. I hope nothing but good things for this incredible woman. She deserves all the best things in life. I am a fan, and after reading this, if you have a beating heart in your chest, you will be one too. One of the best memoirs I've ever read! Keep being you girl!"

The Last Black Unicorn Audible Audio Edition Tiffany Haddish Simon Schuster Audio Books Reviews
- Tiffany Haddish is just getting started. I first saw her do standup in LA, and even thought she was mixed in with more familiar names at the time, she stood out not just for her amazing humor, but her infectious, happy attitude. Read this book, and you're sure to be inspired to look at life's blessings...and challenges...with appreciation (rather than entitlement), resilience and laughter...a lot of laughter. I love this woman so much. The entertainment industry needs more like her, and I look forward to seeing her on stage, on screen and on best seller lists for years to come! Thank you Tiffany Haddish for being true to yourself and a breath of fresh air in Hollywood.
- I started reading this book and I couldn't put it down. Tiffany's story is unimaginable and she has emerged able to conquer the world. I laughed, I cried, I cried while I was laughing. It is well worth the read.

Keep being you girl! - I love listening and watching TH’s interviews. They cheer me up when I’m down and inspire me. I don’t watch her stand up because I don’t connect with it. Because of how much I like her, in general, I bought this book. I give it five stars for honesty and openness. But, I am one of those who is bothered by excessive profanity. I wish her every good thing, every blessing, every success & I am pretty amazed at her ability to face and work through tough, hard, painful events. I have zero criticism for her book - only that my personal tolerance for the vulgar language was taxed. That’s on me. Congratulations to Tiffany Haddich & a ‘thank you’ for her generosity of spirit.
- I fell in love with Tiffany Haddish after seeing her do an interview on Trevor Noah`s Daily News show. Her personality and sense of humor is just amazing and pulls you in. So when she started giving stories from her book about dating and religion and just life in general I definitely felt like I had to read.
Her writing style isn`t your conventional Shakespeare style, I`ve earned my Doctorate in Creative Writing sort of read. It`s very easy to read and very down to earth. It`s like she could be standing right next to you telling you this story as though you were best friends sharing laughs, tears and life. Some parts are particularly heavy because her life was far from being rainbows and unicorns (though she is the Last Black Unicorn), but she tells it in a way that reminds be of my own mother. Even when they are talking through their most painful moments they still find a way to help you Laugh at their Pain and your own so that you don`t walk away feeling worse about any of it but instead feeling stronger and refreshed.
I really enjoyed this book and was sad when it ended but was happy to have gotten a look into Tiffany Haddish insane but relate-able world.I look forward to seeing her succeed. - After I saw Tiffany on The View, and Mary J Blige spoke on how Tiffany lifted her spirits during a dark period in her life, I knew Tiffany had this gift. Many comedians make me laugh, but with Tiffany I experience a deep personal connection. After reading her truth, I understand why. Yeah we're both women with tragic personal histories. But more importantly, she's using hers to comfort people. She's not just telling jokes, she is giving her heart and soul. That's real love. I laughed and cried through this book. It was such a joy to read I could barely put it down. I really wish I could figure out who Rumplestiltskin is, but I respect Tiffany for allowing him his anonymity.
- I already thought she was a realist person I had ever seen on TV but her story is beautifully told in her voice (I can hear it) and it makes it so touching, funny and sad but her success let's you know that we can overcome anything, I did love her but now she's family! Go cuz!
- Beautifully written book by a beautiful woman. Fiercely honest and sad at times. Highly recommend for a beach day or flight!
