Summary
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.

Very real and to the point. I really think that Will and Jada Smith are real snobs and they truly forgot where they came from... Tiffany always stay true and humble, don't let anyone try to convince you of things that doesn't suite you... Great book...and that song at the end is so damn funny!!

“SHE READY!”

Excellent book! I laughed. I cried. I cried because I laughed to hard. Tiffany reading her book showed her personality through her words. I liked her before, but now I absolutely adore her.

Profile Avatar Meagan Apr 2021

Amazing stories of her life and path to be where she is. I couldn’t shut it off.

Profile Avatar Penny W. Mar 2021

The funniest audiobook ever! Warning: Tiffany’s stories can be vulgar and explicit, but so hilarious. I listened to this audiobook wanting to learn more about her time in foster care; however, the story of her youth jumps around and is hard to figure out her story chronologically. In her story telling, she really glosses over the extremely hurtful situations and covers her incredible hurt with humorous stories. She tells individual stories as a standup routine with her pronunciations and bad grammar plus vulgar language. The stories are mostly stand alone and aren’t specifically chronological. Even with all these issues, I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook. It’s not a literary masterpiece but I wouldn’t expect that anyway.

Profile Avatar Talethia S. Dec 2020

very funny and real

Profile Avatar Valerie F. Apr 2020

This book was awesome. I enjoyed the story about her life as told by herself. The fact that she narrated the audiobook added a personal touch for me and definitely gave it more perspective that made it even easily to relate to and follow her story line.

Profile Avatar Tanesha B. Mar 2020

The book was funny but Tiffany as the narrator made it even funnier.

Profile Avatar Maria R. Mar 2020

Profile Avatar Sara C. Mar 2020

EXCELLENT read/listen. Tiffany really opens up about topics that are hard to discuss but that so many people can relate to. Touching, emotional, and SO funny! So much better with Tiffany reading it herself! Totally recommend it to others.

Profile Avatar Livia N. Mar 2020

Her life up until the publishing of this autobiography was hard. My heart ache for young Tiffany who had no father and a mother whose personality and ability to care for herself and her many children changed dramatically for the worse. Adult Tiffany had a few interesting dating issues. I had a hard time with the vulgar language and manner Tiffany chose to tell these dating stories. She came off as extremely mean when imitating disabled Roscoe even though I doubt highly that was her intention. Her professional career path to becoming a comedic actress and standup comedian was easier to hear and celebrate as she t shared it. Her celebrity friendships with Jada Pinkett Smith and Kevin Hart seemed to have influenced her the most. I hope by now she did achieve her goal of buying a duplex and housing her mentally ill mother in one of the units and getting her mother back on the medication regime that kept her the most stable and the least verbally and physically abusive to Tiffany. Overall, I am still on the fence about whether or not reading her autobiography was a good idea. Because of how crude and mean she came off sounding I would never pay to see her standup comedy routine. Her schtick just isn't my cup of tea. However, I love her dialed back energy on screen as a comedic actress and will continue to support her film career. Final thoughts: I would only recommend this autobiography to readers who can truly appreciate extremely crass language and a story that has absolutely no polite filters whatsoever.

then understanding of the title was at the end and it was ok. wish that was thrown more into the book

Profile Avatar Van L. Jan 2020

Such a wonderful book!! Tiffany is such an articulate lady and she fills me up with laughter. It’s a sad story but I’m so glad she found success after all she has been through. After reading this book I wish I could’ve hugged Tiffany personally!

, this is the best book i have read in 2020. I believe i can be anything i want to be. Thank you Tiffany

Profile Avatar India S. Jan 2020

Her honesty and raw vulnerability in this book is amazing and so inspiring! I definitely was expecting a funny memoir but was not mad about the heartbreaking realness she delivered. I loved hearing it in her own voice and this book really surprised me regarding how much sh*t Tiffany Haddish has actually been through in her life, and to come out the other side still fighting and still smiling! Would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting a REAL comedian perspective.

Profile Avatar Renee H. Jan 2020

I enjoy Tiffany. She is very entertaining but she is also repetitious. I felt like I was hearing the same stories told and retold. At times I was bored but continued to listen looking forward to whatever else she might say that might be different. It was disappointing.

Profile Avatar Akiri C. Oct 2019

Great story!

Profile Avatar Anonymous Sep 2019

I enjoyed hearing Tiffany narrators and tell her story. This is by far one of the best books. I was sad when it ended. Great job!

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jul 2019

Had I read it myself, the book wouldn't have been as interesting. Tiffany's narration is at 7 stars. Great listen. I would recommend.

Profile Avatar Daeonna D. Jun 2019

I think that Tiffany is an incredible and hilarious person and I bet the kids that was calling her all those names regret it because look at her now she's one of the most funniest women in the world. Never let words tell you who you are going to be in life just keep moving forward Tiffany.

Profile Avatar Kim F. Jun 2019

It’s great! I loved the book! Tiffany Haddish used a lot of profanity, and a lot of humor to tell her very real and honest stories. I learned so much about the author. Her stories opened up my mind to how difficult some lives can be. We are all born into this world as vulnerable and loving humans. We are shaped by our upbringing. I felt so sad for her most of the time, but she is resilient and amazing. I would recommend the book!

Profile Avatar Eric O. May 2019

Freaking hilarious, real and funny at the same time

Profile Avatar Traci M. Mar 2019

Tiffany’s honesty is hair on the back of my neck raising but she is able to put a smile on my face at the same time! Being read in her own voice really makes it special!!

Profile Avatar Heather K. Dec 2018

I was a little skeptical at first, but thankfully I was so wrong! Tiffany is beyond hilarious and real and you can really feel her emotions through her narration. It is raw, but necessary to understand where she was and where she is now. One of my favorite books to add to my list.

Profile Avatar Tammy S. Sep 2018

Although I had heard a good bit of this book through Tiffany's standup, I thoroughly enjoyed hearing it all again through her narration. I laughed, I cried for her, then I laughed again. And the Last Black Unicorn song sealed the deal! Go Tiffany, all the best!

Profile Avatar Evelyn L. Aug 2018

“She’s ready!”, strong, funny and shows the reader through her story how to push aside the bad and take the good in life! It touched my heart as somethings I seemed to identify with and found myself nodding my head saying “so true”.

Profile Avatar Tanielle B. Jul 2018

This book was amazingly written and I must say it was an excellent addition to have Tiffany Haddish read her story. The way she read it, I could visualize as if I was going through the experiences with her. I view the book about her life as inspiring.

Profile Avatar Madalyn W. Jul 2018

I dont usually leave reviews but i felt that i needed to. I didn’t know what to expect when I purchased this book and at first I was confused about how I felt about it. I didn’t think that I was going finish it. But I couldn’t stop listening to it. I wanted to know more. I’m glad I listened to the book instead of reading it. It’s was animated,funny, and real. And at times it felt as if she was my homegirl telling me about her life and encouraging me at the same time. I will probably listen to this book again.

Profile Avatar Toni B. Jun 2018

Tiffany Haddish truly is a Unicorn. Her stories are replete with the magic of her kind and tenacious spirit. A master storyteller, Tiffany enthralls the audience with stories of traumatic scenes from her life. She recounts them in such a way that does not traumatize the reader. In essence, she teaches the reader the power of a positive attitude in helping her be reslient. Tiffany Haddish, you are on my bucket list of people to meet and hug. I truly hope Roscoe comes back to you!!

Profile Avatar Juliana L Feb 2018

I listened to the Audio version of this book and I completely recommend it. It's one thing to read her story, but having her read it to you is in my opinion the way better option. This woman went through so much in her life and I am so happy she kept true to herself and stayed strong. I do not want to give away any part of the book, but I will say if you love crazy and hilarious people then get this book ASAP. I didn't want this book to end! I wish I knew who Rumpelstiltskin was or any of the other comedians she mentioned who gave her a hard time as a woman in comedy.

Good story but very adult content. Make sure children don’t hear!

Profile Avatar Sally B Jan 2018

Tiffany is hysterical on stage and in movies. I loved Girl Trip. She’s very candid in the book and has engaged in some serious self examination. She has survived and thrived, by her hard work, a truly awful childhood. That said, it’s just so crude - beyond what’s needed, and even I - not the least bit prudish - found it just icky at times, and wishing the pendulum would begin to swing back to a little less ‘no holds barred’ obscenity.

Profile Avatar Nomafrika T Jan 2018

The book was entertaining and really lives up to its marketing hype. Tiffany's timing on the promotion and events that introduced her to us i.e "Girls Trip" are so well documented and mentioned in the book, I feel like I know her! An area that could have been better was grammar and use of language, an audio choice smoothes this over but I doubt if I would have had patience to read the book.
