Colman Domingo
About this listen
Sometimes our world unravels around us all at once. And when it does, the best thing we can do is take a step back and laugh. Laugh a lot.
From the brilliant comedic and emotive mind of Oscar and Tony Award nominee Colman Domingo (Rustin, The Color Purple, and Euphoria) comes the deeply imaginative dark comedy about death Wild with Happy. It is performed by an all-star cast including Domingo, the legendary Oprah Winfrey, Tony Award nominee Sharon Washington (New York, New York), Tony Award winner Alex Newell (Glee, Shucked), and Golden Globe Award winner Tyler James Williams (Abbott Elementary).
Gil (Domingo) is a struggling NYC actor who heads home to Philadelphia after the passing of his mother, Adelaide (Winfrey). The plan is to tidy-up her affairs as quickly and efficiently as possible, until a few unpredictably hilarious detours ensue. With his Aunt Glo (Washington) insisting on a proper burial, but an urn of ashes already in his hand, Gil gets thrown into a car by his best friend (Newell). Aunt Glo and the funeral director (Williams), now Gil’s lover (yes, that happened), follow in hot pursuit. Several states later they all reach their final destination, and Gil’s mom’s final resting place: the one place on earth that made her wild with happy.
Be advised. This is a beautifully crafted, immersive listen. There is a good chance you may find yourself laughing and crying at the same time. Enjoy the ride that we all don’t want to take but will be so very wild with happy that we did.

You got listen to this audio to understand the tile I have give to this review.
This is a beautiful monologue of someone coming to terms with death. It's pure poetry, full of laughter and the turmoil of dealing with death. This is Gill's journey coming to terms with his mother's death, with wonderful characters helping him along. It's absolutely breathtaking.
It's beautifully written, executed, and directed. This is an audio you can listen to over and over again. A quote from it that gives you a taste is, "I just want to sit, just sit and give everyone a chance to catch their breath, just sit." There are more beautiful sayings in this poetic story. 10/10.

Hysterical
When I say hysterical I mean Fast and Furious. Great Mickey taking out of the black community in America. Shame we’re not allowed to do that ourselves here including jokes about mother-in-law et cetera et cetera. The fun has gone out of British humour unfortunately. My only criticism would be that it is difficult to separate out the Characters by their voice. It was more about what they were actually saying that allowed me to figure out who was talking. Short and sweet probably wouldn’t listen to it again though whereas other comedies I may well do so.

Disappointing didn’t really get half the references
I’d say I’m simply the wrong nationality being Irish. Did really get a lot of the references

Maybe more funny for US-Americans?
I found this disappointingly short, (it is less than 2 hours), difficult to follow the voices and characters, and very few things resonated with me or were funny to me. All in all, not recommended.

Switched it off. Not for me
It was a lot of noise at first, then a lot of dialogue I wasn’t interested in. Quite shouty. It might have been ok of it had just been narrated.
