What Would Susie Say?: Bullsh*t Wisdom About Love, Life and Comedy

Written by Susie Essman

Narrated by Susie Essman

In What Would Susie Say?, Susie Essman sheds the crasser layers to reveal how she went from an anxiety-ridden, struggling stand-up comic to being one of the funniest women on television. Emerging as one of the most successful performers in her field, Essman goes behind the scenes of a life in comedy with her funny cohorts, including Joy Behar, Rodney Dangerfield, and, of course, Larry David, while also providing side-splittingly funny wisdom on a range of topics that she’s highly unqualified to expound upon, including men, sports, hypochondria, and stepparenthood. Irreverent and refreshingly candid, What Would Susie Say? is Essman’s hilarious retort to the dubious facts of life we all face.

Susie Essman

Susie Essman has played the sassy Susie Greene for all seven seasons of the critically acclaimed HBO comedy series Curb Your Enthusiasm.  Her hilarious bouts of withering sarcasm and her uninhibited insults have become her character’s trademark, and her streetwise vernacular is perfectly suited for her life in Manhattan, where she has been a veteran of the world of stand-up comedy for twenty-five years. She divides her time between New York City and upstate New York, where she lives with her husband, four stepchildren, and two dogs.

Reviews for What Would Susie Say?

[lildrafire · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I like Susie Essman's frank and explicit way she expresses herself. I love the fact that she's not afraid to be herself and express herself in her own way, even if that way sometimes resembles some rough language. She also exposes a softer side, especially when she's talking about her new husband and his children. If you are a fan of Curb Your Enthusiasm, you'll love this book. Essman writes in a conversational style that is a very quick read.
