“I was drawn in by the humor, and the quality of the imagery kept me there. My wife was so moved by these stories that she teared up, and when I gave them to my 21-year-old son, I heard him laughing from the next room. This is a book everyone will love!”   Paul Naude, CEO, Billabong USA

Tyler has found a way to write short stories that are intensely funny and poignant at the same time.

.

He gives us hippos, nuns and nudity (but thankfully, no nude nuns), while seamlessly interlacing profound moments with themes like forgiveness,

 redemption, and hope.

.

His voice is fresh, raw, and just pure fun!

Praise for Birthday Suit:

“It’s hard to believe that someone with this much talent is still flying under the media radar. Tyler routinely captivates huge audiences with his humor and storytelling. I’ve watched him take a crowd of 3,200 distracted teenagers who didn’t want to be in the room, and have them eating out of his hand within two minutes. This would be a daunting task for even the most seasoned stand up comedian. His abilities are extraordinary, and now that he’s put all of this into his poignant and entertaining book, it will be fun to see how his career takes off. The entertainment industry is about to become aware of, and fall in love with Tyler Durman.”

Dighton Spooner, Former CBS Television Programming Executive

 

“I found Tyler’s stories to be truly mesmerizing, deeply insightful and extremely humorous. The book was so impactful that I shared numerous copies with colleagues, parents and friends. He’s onto something powerful here. “

Gary Rapkin, Ph.D., Superintendent of Schools, Bonita Unified District, CA

 

“I am a recent immigrant to San Francisco from my home country of Uganda, where I made my living as a watercolor artist. Birthday Suit surprised me, as it opened up my heart and painted it with hope. It is a beautiful piece of art that I am now sharing with everyone in my life. It’s a rare thing to find a man who is willing to be so vulnerable about his failures and weaknesses. Perhaps that is the reason for its power.”

Annette Natocho Stearns, Watercolor Artist & Mother of Two 

 

“Birthday Suit took me on a really cool journey. It made me laugh out loud, and gave me a lot to think about. Tyler’s wisdom really hit home with me. His stories showed me a lot about myself as a dad, husband and friend. I’ve had the chance sit with 5,000 other adults and be swept up by his live storytelling, and I’m so grateful he’s put it all into this book.”

Frank Tate, President, Five-Minute Walk Records and Management

 

“I heard my husband laughing in our livingroom and went in to find him reading my copy of Birthday Suit. It was the first time I’d seen him with a book in his hand in the ten years we’ve been married. He sat there for hours and didn’t put it down until he’d finished every page. We even talked about what the stories meant to us later. This book is easily my favorite read in many years.”

Autumn Claytor, Wife, Mother of Two, Avid Reader, and Lover of the Ocean

  

 “Tyler has this ability to connect with people quickly, and in a deep way. To listen to him live or to read his stories is to feel like you’ve made a really fun new friend who somehow, just by spending time together, helps you think about the things that matter most.”

Kristen Hardy, Photographer, Mother of Three
