Based on a True Story

In this New York Times bestseller, legendary comedian Norm Macdonald offers a unique take on the conventional memoir format, dismissing it as "one step below instruction manuals." After a two-year retreat on a farm in northern Canada, he emerges with a genre-defying narrative that weaves together themes of comedy, tragedy, love, and redemption. With his characteristic wit and humor, Norm invites listeners to engage with his life story on their own terms, declaring, "Call it anything you damn like."
