Joey “Coco” Diaz Inks Deal for Debut Memoir

Comedian, actor, and podcaster Joey “Coco” Diaz’s debut memoir sold to BenBella Books in a World English deal. The book combines the racially charged, single-mother/only-son dynamic of Born a Crime, the heartbreaking yet sidesplitting journey through addiction and stand-up comedy after losing a beloved parent in Too Fat to Fish, and the deadly Cuban American gambling underworld of The Corporation to tell a story of overcoming odds and making the best of second chances. Audio rights to Recorded Books at auction with the author narrating.
