Happy, uplifting audio book recommendations to help me forget about CV

I subscribe to Audible and love listening to audio books on my commute or dog walks. I need a bit of escapism from life at the moment (like everyone else) and am looking for some uplifting, feel good or funny books. I'm listening to The Binding just now and while I like it, it's a bit too dark and depressing for the current climate.
Any ideas? My favourite audio books so far are
The Heart's Invisible Furies, Americanah,
all David Sedaris' audio books,
An American Marriage,
Where.The Crawdads Sing
All of Maggie O'Farrell's books
All of Kate Atkinson's books
Becoming by Michelle Obama
Thanks

Tales of the City read by Frances McDairmaid. In the throes of a global pandemic, we all need to 'be' in 70's Frisco with its Speedo disco dance contests, wayward socialites, homegrown, wholesome grass and wise transsexual landladies. I've read the books twice over and it's still glorious.

Thanks @BoogleMcGroogle and @BentNeckLady I'll check those out. I tried Tales of the City books years ago and didn't love them but totally willing to give them another go in this current frame of mind.
