Trans comedian Roz Hernandez has exciting news for her fans. She is releasing 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 long and funny title. It gives a good idea of what the book is about.

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 special trip. Hernandez organised a comedy tour across the United States by herself. She did not have a big team or a lot of money. She did it on her own terms.

The book shares what it is like to be a transgender woman in the comedy world. It talks about the funny moments. It also talks about the difficult ones. Life on the road is not always easy. But Hernandez tells her story with humour and honesty.

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

As a trans comedian, Hernandez brings a unique voice to the entertainment world. There are still not many openly trans comedians with this level of visibility. Her audiobook is an important addition to LGBTQ+ storytelling.

The release date of 23 June is also meaningful. It falls just after Pride Month begins. This feels like the perfect time to celebrate a trans woman sharing her story.

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

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