Summary
As both a tomboy and a late bloomer, comedian Jessi Klein grew up feeling more like an outsider than a participant in the rites of modern femininity. She offers-through a collection of real-life stories, a relentlessly funny yet poignant take on a variety of topics she has experienced along her strange journey to womanhood and beyond. These include her "transformation from Pippi Longstocking-esque tomboy to are-you-a-lesbian-or-what tom man," attempting to find watchable porn, and identifying the difference between being called "ma'am" and "miss" ("Miss sounds like you weigh ninety-nine pounds"). Jessi Klein is head writer and an executive producer of Comedy Central's TV series Inside Amy Schumer. Her story "Tired, From New York" can be heard on The Moth radio hour at themoth.org/storytellers/jessi-klein. She can also be seen in her own half-hour Comedy Central stand-up special.
