Alison Leiby Unveils New Book ‘I’m a Lot’ in Exclusive Announcement

Comedian and writer Alison Leiby is set to release a new book titled ‘I’m a Lot: Surviving Myself, and All the People I’ve Been’ this upcoming summer. The book, to be published by The Dial Press, promises to be a collection of 14 personal essays filled with a blend of deadpan humour, heartfelt moments of self-reflection, and insightful social observations.

Leiby, a two-time WGA Award-nominated writer known for her work on popular shows like ‘Life & Beth,’ ‘The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,’ and ‘Comedy on Earth,’ shares her experiences and lessons learned throughout her life in this upcoming memoir. Embracing a variety of identities, from being a passionate fan of the Housewives franchise to navigating relationships and personal choices, Leiby bares it all in her writing.

The book delves into Leiby’s past, including a pivotal moment in her teenage years when a near-death encounter following back surgery left her with a renewed appreciation for life. This experience, as described by the publisher, led Leiby to the profound realisation that true beauty lies in accepting and embracing one’s authentic self, flaws and all.

Leiby’s diverse career in writing and comedy has shaped her unique perspective, evident in the mix of humour and introspection within the essays of ‘I’m a Lot.’ Through her work, she aims to challenge societal norms and redefine what it means to navigate multiple identities in today’s world.

With a blend of wit and wisdom, Leiby invites readers to explore the intricacies of identity and self-acceptance. From her personal struggles to moments of joy and discovery, the book offers a candid look into the journey of embracing all facets of oneself, even those perceived as ‘flawed’ by societal standards.

Reflecting on the significance of her book, Leiby expresses her excitement for readers to engage with her story. Transitioning from stand-up comedy to the realm of written storytelling, she shares her hopes that ‘I’m a Lot’ will resonate with individuals grappling with their own complexities and inner conflicts.

‘I’m a Lot’ by Alison Leiby is scheduled for release on July 7, 2026, with pre-orders currently available. As Leiby prepares to unveil her latest work to the world, anticipation builds for the impact her honest and introspective writing will have on readers seeking authenticity and empowerment in their own journeys.
