A 2020 Audie Award Finalist

From nationally bestselling author, YouTube star, and Facebook Video sensation Laura Clery comes a collection of comedic essays that paint “an honest, complicated portrait of how your life can change” (SheKnows).

Laura Clery makes a living by sharing inappropriate comedy sketches with millions of strangers on the Internet. She writes songs about her anatomy, talks trash about her one-eyed rescue pug, and sexually harasses her husband, Stephen. And it pays the bills!

Now, in her first-ever book, Laura recounts how she went from being a dangerously impulsive, broke, unemployable, suicidal, cocaine-addicted narcissist, crippled by fear and hopping from one toxic romance to the next…to a more-happy-than-not, somewhat rational, meditating, vegan yogi with good credit, a great marriage, a fantastic career, and four unfortunate-looking rescue animals. Still, above all, Laura remains an amazingly talented, adorable, and vulnerable, self-described…Idiot.

With her signature brand of offbeat, no-holds-barred humor, Idiot introduces you to a wildly original—and undeniably relatable—new voice.

What the critics say

"Laura Clery uses the spunk and irreverence that made her a YouTube sensation while narrating her audiobook. She is peppy in all the right parts, especially during reminiscences about her nerdy teenage years. Clery balances this with a more poised persona as she reflects on other mile markers, such as a classmate's suicide in middle school. For fans of her online work, this is a way to learn more about the personal background behind a public persona. Clery delivers her reflections on life, love, and loss with an infectious energy. Her ruminations will inspire listeners to see the humorous side of their own lives. Full of self-deprecation, this is a fun listening experience."

Editorial Review

Discover how Laura Clery overcame poverty, lack of skills, and a cocaine addiction to thrive as a successful married woman who adopts rescue animals, practices yoga, and maintains a vegan lifestyle.

Idiot is a collection of essays on how Laura Clery traded in her old life for a new one. Her accounts go into gritty but frank details about everything from addiction to domestic violence. Yet somehow she manages to find the humour in every situation and shares her stories in a relatable, inspiring way.

To add to the realness of Idiot, this Audible audiobook is narrated by Laura Clery herself. With a clear voice and chatty, upbeat tone, Laura’s narration is less like a performance and more like hearing a friend share shocking but side-splittingly funny stories about her life over a coffee.

Yet Idiot is not Laura’s first brush with acclaim. Prior to creating this title, she built up a following by posting comedy sketches on Facebook and YouTube every day. All told, she has over two billion views and millions of followers.

Within just months of Idiot’s release date, Clery was nominated for an Audie Award in the Humor category. This title maintains impressively high ratings and has become a favourite for many.
