About this listen

Dive into the most ridiculous adventure this side of the Milky Way!

In a universe where reality twists and the absurd rules, a clueless crew embarks on a cosmic joyride to explore life, the universe, and everything in between.

Meet the travelers: an alien thrilled to have landed on Earth (accidentally), his ship—an AI-infused jokester that insists it’s the galaxy’s funniest comedian; a logical budgie convinced life is a musical; and a curious android eager to experience it all. And then there’s the Earthling—a soul that dropped unexpectedly into this chaos, searching for meaning while learning to go with the flow.

Together, they crisscross through bizarre worlds, surreal encounters, and mysteries that defy all sense of logic.

The Ridiculous is a sci-fi comedy for all ages, brimming with clever satire, whimsical characters, and insights that invite listeners to unlearn, rethink, and rediscover happiness.

If you’re a fan of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, this is your next outrageous adventure—a story to laugh with, ponder, and share with everyone you know.

The Narrator is AMAZING!

Hi, I'm the Co-Author of *The Ridiculous*, and I wanted to share how incredible Alan Irving's performance is!

We auditioned 95 voice actors, and Alan's portrayal of the characters stood out. We needed a British narrator with a style blending “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”, “Monty Python”, and “Fawlty Towers”—and he nailed it!

Alan’s quirky characters make it a fun listen for all ages. This updated and revised audiobook version is packed with even more hilarity, laugh-out-loud moments, and meaningful mindset shifts. Some character voices have been refined, making it even more captivating.

The audiobook has already reached #42 on Audible in Humorous Science Fiction and climbed into the top 15. Additionally, Amazon ranked the book #1 in Comedy, Science Fiction, Self-Help & Psychology Humor, and Happiness.

Enjoy this adventure and the rest of the trilogy of trilogies—yes, that’s nine books in the series!

Truly an amazing experience!

I decided that I would sit down, relax and immerse myself in The Ridiculous Audible. I knew this one was going to be different. My very pleasant surprise was how I was feeling listening to the book. It made me laugh out loud and feel good and it was so much fun listening to all the different voices of all the characters!
I can’t even imagine how difficult it was to get all the voices of the characters! And the story script is amazingly told.
I would highly recommend this audio book and will be listening to the story again and again! This was and is a great escape out of the ordinary!
Great job to the author’s Jeffrey Neil Kippel and Mindy Heather Blackstien! Also Alan Irving! I commend you on your great performance!

my face hurts!

so I got the audible version of this because I don't really have time to read for pleasure as I am a scientist and I'm always reading dry humorless research papers, as such I figured the perfect time to read this would be in the car with audio. there was a problem however, I was laughing so hard and I enjoyed it so much that I'm not sure I was driving very safely. my suggestion is if you're going to get the audible version of this then listen to it at home in bed where you're comfortable and you can't hurt yourself. a word to the wise :-)
