I’d Like to Play Alone, Please: Essays is a humorous essay collection by comedian Tom Segura. Built around personal stories rather than a formal argument, the book translates his stand-up persona into prose through episodes about parenting, touring, celebrity encounters, family life, and the irritations of everyday social behavior. Its title comes from a phrase his young son reportedly used, which Segura turns into a running expression of exhaustion and the desire for solitude. The result is a comic memoir in fragmentary form: not a guidebook or self-help title, but a curated set of anecdotes that depend on voice, timing, and exaggeration. Readers who know Segura from his podcasts or specials will recognize the same irreverent tone, while new readers will find a concentrated example of contemporary comedic nonfiction shaped by bluntness, misanthropy, and occasional warmth.
