About this listen

Samantha Bee wants to talk about menopause.

Okay, she actually doesn’t want to, but she must. Half of the world’s population will spend one third of their lives in it, yet it’s been completely shrouded in secrecy—until now. The Emmy Award-winning host of Full Frontal with Samantha Bee shares everything she has learned in her new one-woman show, How to Survive Menopause. Because everyone needs that one best friend who will keep it real for them—like, really real. Performed for a sold-out crowd at Audible’s Minetta Lane Theatre and now available in audio, this is the hilarious, soothing salve you didn’t know you needed. It’s perfect for anyone who is going through it, has gone through it, will go through it, or knows someone who has. Basically, the entire population.

Available in Dolby Atmos on Audible.

Truth!

I am a little older than Sam and greatly appreciate her truth-telling and honesty. Thank you, Sam! We are all in this together!

You'll see yourself here

A disclaimer - I've loved Sam for decades so I pretty much knew I'd like this, regardless of the subject. But as a 54 year old struggling with many of the menopause issues Sam describes, I felt seen. Menopause is a little different for everyone, but you'll see something of yourself here if you're going/have gone through "the change." There's some advice - some serious, some less serious - but hearing menopause discussed so openly, frankly, and hysterically is a refreshing change. I've made it my mission to talk about menopause to normalize it. Half the world's population goes through it but we don't really talk about it and we certainly haven't been studying it. That needs to change! So listen to Sam's stories, laugh, commiserate, research, talk to your doctor, and share your true experiences with others!

Funniest most accurate description I’ve ever heard!

Pure talent to be able to convey such a traumatic period in a woman’s life in such a funny accurate relatable manner! I haven’t laughed this much in ages! Simply brilliant!

Hilarious

Hilarious and even though I feel I am partially there, still so relatable. Funny how so much is unknown about pre and postmenopause issues.

DNF at 45 minutes

I thought I'd like this, being a woman in perimenopause. I didn't, and that disappoints me. It just doesn't reflect my personal experience, and as angry as I can get about wome's issues, I don't have rage for the same things here. I'm actually okay, and this wasn't all that funny for me. Your mileage may vary, of course.

Sometimes amusing, not exceptionally funny

It’s only an hour, so not a big investment of time to listen to. Jokes get repetitious, mostly about hot flash hell, mood swings and forgetfulness.
