About this listen

Be warned - this raw, unpolished adventure across the States contains alligator wrestling, leather chaps and Vegas weddings. As a multi-award winning comedian and travel journalist, Dom Joly's take on any destination is always witty, sharp, hilarious and irreverent - even more so when that destination is the backwaters of the USA.

Join Dom on a three-week odyssey across the USA as he explores the weird and wonderful oddities of American culture with his trusty sidekick (and complete stranger) Fiona. With the same level of widescreen storytelling you'd expect from a television documentary, Big American Vacation sees Joly rove across the continent in his Chrysler 'Enormoburger', investigating coffin races at the 'Cryonics Mardi Gras', drive-through weddings and late-night emergency Elvises, competitive turkey bowling, marijuana sommeliers and dude ranches.

    Ep. 1: What Happens in Vegas
    Mar 30 2018

    [Contains explicit content]

    Dom sets off on his tour around the US of A, with his trusty sidekick (and complete stranger) Fiona. After the first evening consisting primarily of 'ass juice', a visit to 'Hangover Heaven' is a necessity. Followed by a drive-thru wedding complete with a wigged up 'Emergency Elvis'. Not wigs! Dom has a thing about wigs.

    Anyway, what if the bride and groom are related? Surely you can't get married if you already have a wife?! So many questions....

    Ep. 2: Hey Cows
    Mar 30 2018

    [Contains explicit content]

    How do you make the cows come home? You call them of course. Dom gets his cowboy on (leather chaps included) and attempts to order around Buttercup and friends on a proper Arizona Dude Ranch.

    Trickier than expected, though Dom's Swiss yodelling roots and school days with Osama Bin Laden do come in handy.

    Ep. 3: Hanging With My Buds
    Mar 30 2018

    How many stoners does it take to change a lightbulb? Or at least just have a decent conversation? Dom visits Denver to partake in the mile-high city's favourite *legal* pastime.

    Enter the hazy world of sativas, edibles, bud-tenders, and... canna-lube. Best served stoned.

Beware when listening to this in public as people will be looking at you with bemusement as you burst out laughing every 30 seconds as I found in the gym and supermarket yesterday. Great listen!

1st of all I was never a Dom Joly fan But I have seen the light! Must have been the border control (one of the exploits Dom goes on) Searching for illegals trying to cross the USA border, this is one of his exploits that he is taking on. It was recommended to me but I remember Dom from the Trigger Happy days, now he's more sedate than his earlier years and I really enjoyed listening to his adventures and I look forward to listening to some more of his work. Enjoy

What a stonking free audio book!

Completely pile of true junk stories!

Absolutely loved this, there were so many parts that I laughed and smiled to myself whilst walking down the street.
Most of the Americans just didn't get his humour at all which just made it even funnier.

I hope there is another series of his adventures soon.

Hilarious

Not always a fan of Doms work, but this is hilarious.
Well worth a listen, I was laughing out loud. Add to that, the odd places they visit wouldn’t be found in any normal package holiday.

Very enjoyable

I couldn't listen to the end of it.
