About this audiobook

Grammy Award Nominee for Best Spoken Word Album!

From stand-up comedian, actress, and breakout star of Girls Trip, Tiffany Haddish, comes The Last Black Unicorn, a sidesplitting, hysterical, edgy, and unflinching collection of (extremely) personal essays, as fearless as the author herself.


Growing up in one of the poorest neighborhoods of South Central Los Angeles, Tiffany learned to survive by making people laugh. If she could do that, then her classmates would let her copy their homework, the other foster kids she lived with wouldn’t beat her up, and she might even get a boyfriend. Or at least she could make enough money—as the paid school mascot and in-demand Bar Mitzvah hype woman—to get her hair and nails done, so then she might get a boyfriend.

None of that worked (and she’s still single), but it allowed Tiffany to imagine a place for herself where she could do something she loved for a living: comedy.

Tiffany can’t avoid being funny—it’s just who she is, whether she’s plotting shocking, jaw-dropping revenge on an ex-boyfriend or learning how to handle her newfound fame despite still having a broke person’s mind-set. Finally poised to become a household name, she recounts with heart and humor how she came from nothing and nowhere to achieve her dreams by owning, sharing, and using her pain to heal others.

By turns hilarious, filthy, and brutally honest, The Last Black Unicorn shows the world who Tiffany Haddish really is—humble, grateful, down-to-earth, and funny as hell. And now, she’s ready to inspire others through the power of laughter.

A well written autobiography by a self made hard working determined blessed child of God . Only God can lead , guide , and protect what's his through all trials and tribulations . Tiffany you are so blessed , all of your hard days and struggles or now paid in full . I'm happy to see a strong-willed woman who never gave up on her dreams , opening your heart with encouragement that the end of the tunnel there's a light that shines bigger and brighter with every step forward leads to a better tommorow. Be blessed.

I was just browsing through it in the airport on layover never intent on buying it at cover price but then it grabbed/hooked me... I was half way through it by the time I touched down at my final destination! Tiffany is absolutely hilarious in this rags to semi riches book 😜(Jada Pickett-Smith had to get her off the rack & into runway shopping) she was so transparent about her hardships. Very touching, sad & triumph this funny ladies' story, a must read! She is truly ready!
