Tremendous: The Life of a Comedy Savage

Joey "Coco" Diaz

About this audiobook

Outsider. Misfit. Criminal. Convict. Movie star. Family man. Comedy legend.

Joey Diaz has been called every name in the book (and then some). Now, for the first time, he shares the story of his unlikely rise to fame in his own words—with no punches pulled.

Today, he stars in hit films, headlines sold-out tours, hosts the popular Uncle Joey’s Joint podcast, and is a devoted father—but his life wasn’t always so pictureperfect.

Tremendous is the story of Diaz’s life, from grueling childhood and misspent youth to finding his true calling in comedy. Immigrants, fans of celebrity tales, and comedy enthusiasts alike will be enthralled by this incredibly true, foul-mouthed, and funny memoir.

It’s not a story for the faint of heart, or for prudes who’ve never spent a week sleeping on a piece of playground equipment. Diaz shares it all with brutal honesty and humor, in the same inimitable voice he’d use talking to you from the stage or in a bar.

An inspiration for misfits everywhere, Tremendous is storytelling at its finest—and a reminder that the direst of circumstances can change in unimaginable, unpredictable ways.

Ratings and reviews

I only recently became a fan of joey earlier this year. listening to every JRE podcast he was on and watching any footage I could find of his stand up. this book was beautiful to listen too and I'm an even bigger fan of his now

Highly entertaining life story wow! What a crazy life Joey has had, Extremely funny and heartbreakingly sad. Its got it all. Thanks for sharing it all Joey and all the best in the future for you and your family bloke.

Big fan and can now appreciate the hardships and craziness Joey has experienced throughout his life. Makes you think I don't have it that bad and if this didn't stop Joey from getting where he wanted to go then don't let any of your everyday issue's prevent you from getting to where you want to go. Thank you for the inspiration you provide these days with your positivity on your weekly podcast. Hope to see you get back on stage for special occasions, maybe to a set with Joe and Dave. Congratulations on finishing the book, and thanks again.
