Pithy, funny books - like This Is Going To Hurt

Any recommendations? Something sharply written, funny and preferably available as an audio book so I can listen to it when long distance driving.

While I loved This Is Going To Hurt, it need not be medical!

I've heard good things about The Secret Barrister. Not sure if it will have much humour but think it will fit pithy category. I've heard a sample and the narrator sounds good too.

He's a prat but how to lose friends and alienate people by Toby young made me laugh. I loved TIGTH

The Secret Barrister is excellent, but really depressing. Unthinkable by Helen Thomson is a good, accessible non-fiction read.

Mark O'Connell's To be a machine is quite funny, in a deadpan way, also work by writers like David Sedaris.

I enjoyed The Dark Net by Jamie Bartlett (all about the dark side of the internet) - very well read on audible, fascinating, and relatively light given the subject matter.

May contain nuts John o Farrell really funny

Don’t know about audio version but Henry marsh’s do no harm is a brilliant non-fiction read and laugh out loud in places.
