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.

“As raw and real as her stand-up act.” —People
"[A] harrowing and unforgettable memoir.” — New Yorker
“This inspiring memoir will have you crying, laughing and wishing she was your BFF.” —USA Today
“Tiffany Haddish has become known for her unabashed honesty, and continues to keep it 100 in new memoir, The Last Black Unicorn." —Ebony
“She reads movingly with authentic real-time reactions, and her tenacious attitude makes this a sincere, unblushing memoir.” —American Library Association (audio review)
“She spares nothing in this no-holds-barred account…With an informal and conversational style, Haddish directly addresses readers, dares to be herself, and says, ‘You can’t fake funny.’ Verdict: A bawdy, laugh-out-loud tell-all with a liberal dose of heart.” —Library Journal
