If you're a fan of comedy and looking for your next great read, look no further than Mike Rainey's “On Percs”. The Philadelphia comedian and podcaster has authored a book that has been making waves in the comedy world, being hailed as the best comedy book of 2023. This hilarious and heartfelt collection of stories is a must-read for anyone who loves comedy and isn't afraid to tackle tough topics. In this article, we'll take a closer look at “On Percs”, and why you should add it to your reading list.

First, let's talk about Mike Rainey's background. He's most prominently known as the co-host of the Dad Meat podcast alongside Tim Butterly. Mike also hosts what we consider the funniest true-crime podcast in the world Lil' Stinkers, with Jake Mattera and Jon DelCollo. He's been performing stand-up comedy for over a decade as well, and is hilarious. Rainey is known for his irreverent and quick-witted humor, along with being the king of retarded puns.

Now, let's dive into “On Percs”. The book is made up of Rainey's Facebook posts from a time when he was addicted to Percocets, a prescription painkiller. This may sound like a strange concept for a book, but trust me, it works. This isn't just a collection of random posts; Rainey uses the posts as a jumping-off point to tell stories and reflect on his experiences. It's an unflinching look at the effects of addiction, but Rainey's humor and perspective make it an entertaining and thought-provoking read for comedy fans.

One of the great things about “On Percs” is that it's available in multiple formats. You can purchase the book in audiobook, ebook, or paperback versions, so you can choose the format that works best for you. The audiobook version is particularly noteworthy though, and we encourage everyone to check it out. Rainey, along with other comedians including Tim Butterly, Matt McCusker, Ryan Shaner, David James, and more narrate the book as well as include their own additional commentary. The audiobook goes beyond the book itself and is twice as long, making the audiobook feel like a live comedy show or podcast.

So why should you read “On Percs”? For starters, it's a hilarious book that will have you laughing out loud. Rainey's unique sense of humor and wit shine through in every story and reflection, making it a true joy to read. It also goes beyond a silly comedy book, being a thoughtful and introspective look at addiction, recovery, and the human experience. Rainey doesn't shy away from difficult topics, and his willingness to be vulnerable and honest in his writing is truly inspiring.
