About this listen

Seinfeld meets Fleabag in A Comedy of Nobodies, the debut story collection from popular internet filmmaker Baron Ryan.

Charlie knows he’s not the main character in his own story. He’s just another schmuck in the Ivy League looking to be somebody. He plays in a terrible jazz band, falls in love too easily, and struggles with the human being business.

Written in a wry, comedic style, A Comedy of Nobodies: A Collection of Stories traces one fall semester in the lives of four typical but unforgettable university students who, as compensation for their existential anxieties, just want to feel understood.

As Charlie tries to find love using the scientific method, babysits a toddler for student financial aid, jumps out a window to escape a jealous football player’s wrath, and enrages a packed hockey stadium by replacing the national anthem with a jazz-trio rendition of “American Pie,” he discovers that the answers to life’s most pressing questions are almost always just more questions.

Exactly what audiences should expect of Baron Ryan

Ryan has established himself as a sort of bard. His style has been established online well before this book was published. I got exactly what I thought I would get: several great stories, a number of good stories, and a couple of ok stories. That said, they bring a lot of the same thought provoking and interesting conversation to the reader (again, in line with what I was expecting to find) and the whole amounts to more than it's parts. Well worth a purchase and a read/listen if you like his work on places like TikTok. I wouldn't recommend to those who don't like anthologies even though it has the same characters throughout.
