About this listen
Includes a foreword by Chrissie Swan.
Joel Creasey gave his first stand-up performance at 17. Now he's a comedy superstar, performing sell-out events in Australia and around the world. Even the late, great Joan Rivers was a fan, inviting him to open for her last Broadway shows.
From his school days and growing up gay in suburban Australia to meeting his idols and what life is like on the road now, Thirsty is full of his most hilarious, heartbreaking, outrageous, scandalous, incredible and most personal stories.

Love, love, loved this book !!!
Thoroughly enjoyed listening to Joel in his own words tell of his family life, upbringing and career to date. I’ve been lucky enough to have been to one of his live performances, my jaw was aching from laughing so much...
Continue writing Joel, continue performing and making us laugh in what can sometimes be a cruel world!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Best audiobook experience ever!
Narration was excellent and I was laughing in so many moments, captivated in others! I loved the pop culture references throughout (shout-out to Taylor Swift’s 1989)
I couldn’t recommend this audiobook more!!!

Bloody Brilliant.
Loved every minute. listened to all of this book in about 5 hours if that. I have an 18yo granddaughter who is gay and I can hear a lot of things she has been through. Joel you are my favorite comedian. I watch and listen to anything I hear your name associated with. Thank you for the giggles and tears can't wait for the next one. xx

Laugh Out Loud Funny!
I am so glad this was narrated by Joel himself. To hear it in his own voice was amazing. So often I find it difficult to listen to audiobooks because I get lost in the monotony of the speaker - NO danger of that here! It feels like I was just treated to 6+ hours of a Joel Creasey show, and I loved every second.

I loved it
I hesitated over buying this audiobook, thinking that it could be a tirade of gen Y.self indulgence. However, safe in the knowledge that Audible would let me return the book if it was too dreadful, I submitted to temptation.
Joel is a fabulous raconteur. His stories were so engaging and so delightful. They comprised drama, introspection and huge doses of self-deprecating humour. He does metaphorically lampoon others in the course of the narrative, but this never seemed particularly unkind, and he sends himself up more than anyone.
Certain vignettes were absolute standouts during the course of his narration. In particular, the story he relates of one of his first public performances in grade 4 standing in front of the class while using his grandmother's fur stole as a loincloth while singing a song from a popular musical, perhaps 'the lion king' was one such example. Clearly even at a tender age, this guy had star quality and had landed on his feet in this world.
As well as delivering an entertaining narrative, this book was a glimpse into someone's world. Joel is obviously comfortable about talking about himself, but his observations regarding people and society go so much further without feeling ponderous, and made his story such an entertaining listen. When he advises listeners at the beginning of his story to "strap yourself in for the ride", as if anticipating a roller coaster, it is a bit like that. I took a chance on this audiobook, and was richly rewarded. Joel delivers comedy in its most elegant form.
