Rosebud Baker
Rosebud Baker grew up as a loudmouth who preferred to be honest than polite, which is another way of saying she was unemployable. She spent her twenties trying to make it as an actor in New York like every other privileged millennial transplant cosplaying Rent, while gigging as a barista and as “the world’s angriest yoga instructor.” She was blackout drunk most of the time, struggling with alcoholism. She even tried to steal a bodega cat.
Eventually, she harnessed the qualities she once saw as defects—her dark humor and insistence on saying the awkward thing out loud—into a comedy career. She got sober. And she went from dating NYC’s most emotionally unavailable artists to falling in love, and becoming a new mom.
Fully Baked is Rosebud’s riotously funny and emotionally resonant memoir. Inspired by her pregnancy and early motherhood, it’s also her quest to discover who she really is and how she wants to raise her daughter. Every chapter is smart, self-deprecating, and laugh-out-loud funny, and no subject is off limits, from her famous yet unknowable grandfather, White House Chief of Staff James A. Baker III, to her youngest sister’s sudden death. You’ll speed through the pages to discover what happens next. Then, you’ll look back on a remarkable book that felt like an intimate conversation with a friend who made you feel better by confessing all the ways they screwed up.

"A compelling listen about the long process of learning to turn one’s life into material."
"In a deep, commanding voice that contrasts with her self-described “Little Bo-Peep” appearance, comedian Baker blends stories of her difficult journeys to sobriety and motherhood with her evolution from would-be serious actor to stand-up comic and Saturday Night Live writer. Her dry, deadpan delivery sharpens jokes about thoughts most people are too polite to say aloud. When the material turns painful, that control cracks: Her voice grows croaky as she recognizes her late sister’s mannerisms in her newborn daughter, then breaks fully in another devastating moment. Baker whisper-yells through reenacted drunken fights and draws comedy from family dinner table absurdity and other past escapades."
