Audible Inc., the world’s largest seller and producer of downloadable audiobooks and other spoken-word entertainment, today announced the release of actor, comedian, and SNL alumnus David Spade’s A Polaroid Guy in a Snapchat World. Conceived and performed specifically for the Audible listening experience, Spade takes on dating, parenting and suddenly being the “old guy” on set in this candid and perceptive memoir. Showcasing Spade’s impeccable timing and comic brilliance, A Polaroid Guy in a Snapchat World is now available for download exclusively at www.audible.com/davidspade.

“It was a fun experience trying to make my stories come to life,” said Spade. “I grew up listening to comedy albums so, being able to perform this was exciting to me. I’m stoked for people to hear it and for the younger generation to realize how easy they have it these days.”

“Spade’s laugh-out-loud memoir was meant to be heard,” said David Blum, Editor-in-Chief of Audible Originals. “Having David Spade in your ear makes you feel as if he is sitting right next to you, giving you a private audience as he shares hilarious stories that are quintessentially Spade.”

With a 30-day membership trial at Audible, new listeners can enjoy any one Audible book, including A Polaroid Guy in a Snapchat World, free.
