Based on a True Story

by Norm Macdonald · narrated by Norm Macdonald, Tim O'Halloran

#8 in ComedyFirst published 2016

The deadpan comedy legend delivers a 'memoir' that wanders from Canadian childhood to SNL to gambling disasters, cheerfully mixing truth with tall tales until you stop caring which is which.

Narrated by: Norm Macdonald, Tim O'Halloran (including the author)

Grumpy’s take“Norm reads it himself, so you don't have to read anything. Laziness, rewarded.”
