The hilarious and heartfelt debut book from award-winning TV writer and comedian Pax Assadi

A joyfully chaotic memoir about what we gain by embracing our shameful moments, from award-winning comedian and TV writer Pax Assadi.

What do we lose by hiding our shame, and what do we gain by sharing it?

From herding ducks in West Auckland to catastrophic culture shock in Pakistan, to being catfished, conned, heartbroken and humbled. In this hilarious and painfully honest memoir, Pax retraces his story by interrogating the memories he's tried to keep in the dark.

Do children of refugees embarrass themselves because they're trying to navigate across cultures? Do teenagers do stupid things because they are teenagers? When does painful experience become 'good material' - and should it?

The things that make us cringe are also the things that make us who we are. Mortified is a true celebration of laughter and vulnerability, for readers of Trevor Noah and Jennette McCurdy.
