Hello, Friends!: Stories of Dating, Destiny, and Day Jobs | Dulcé Sloan

1 post | 1 read

WELCOME TO A COMEDIC TRIP THROUGH THE LIFE OF ONE OF THE COUNTRY'S MOST EXCITING COMEDIANS. MEET DULCÉ SLOAN, WHOSE LIFE HAS BEEN AN INCREDIBLE JOURNEY FILLED WITH LESSONS AND LAUGHTER. IN ADDITION TO DOING STAND-UP AROUND THE WORLD, DULCÉ IS A TRAINED ACTOR, SINGER, AND HAS BEEN A CORRESPONDENT ON THE DAILY SHOW ON COMEDY CENTRAL. Dulcé Sloan's first memoir is organized into essays from her life. From a childhood moving between cities, starting her own business selling toys at a Miami flea market, to being a Black kid in a predominately white school, she's always used her masterful wit to challenge the status quo. Her purpose in comedy unfolded while navigating clubs and the set of The Daily Show. Have you ever dated an adult who roller skated, or went out with a mechanic just to get free auto service? Yup, she's got that story for you. Her stories are both wildly entertaining and culturally resonant.

Hello, Friends!: Stories of Dating, Destiny, and Day Jobs | Dulcé Sloan

so-so

One of my goals for this year was to tackle more ARCs. đź’–đź“š

As a fan of Sloan‘s work, I did like this but think it came off surface-level. The 1st half doesn‘t present much of her story to becoming a comedian. Many of the stories do not come off very funny (but I‘m sure the đźŽ§ will).

I really enjoyed the last few chapters, on auditioning & her time spent on â€The Daily Show‘. Overall the memoir felt fairly unfocused and surface-level.
