Trans comedian Roz Hernandez has exciting news for her fans. She is launching her first audiobook on 23 June 2024.

The audiobook is called Peeing in an Empty Bottle: And Other Glamorous Shenanigans of an Almost-Famous Transgender Comedienne on the Road. It is a lengthy and amusing title. It gives listeners a clear idea of the content.

Hernandez narrates the audiobook herself. This means listeners hear the story in her own voice. The book is released through the well-known publisher Simon & Schuster.

The audiobook tells the story of a remarkable journey. Hernandez organised a comedy tour across the United States independently. She had no large team or substantial funding. She did it entirely on her own terms.

The book shares what it is like being a transgender woman in comedy. It explores the humorous moments. It also addresses the challenging ones. Life on the road presents real difficulties. But Hernandez tells her story with humour and genuine honesty.

Roz Hernandez is also recognised from the television programme Living for the Dead. The show helped her reach a wider audience. Many fans now know her and her work.

As a trans comedian, Hernandez brings a distinctive voice to entertainment. There are still relatively few openly trans comedians with such visibility. Her audiobook represents an important contribution to LGBTQ+ storytelling.

The release date of 23 June holds significance. It falls just after Pride Month begins. This timing feels ideal to celebrate a trans woman sharing her story.

Fans can look forward to hearing Hernandez discuss her experiences. The audiobook promises to be both entertaining and deeply moving. It is a story about identity, courage, and pursuing your dreams.

The audiobook becomes available from 23 June through Simon & Schuster. Listeners can find it on major audiobook platforms.
