Come along for an unforgettable ride with beloved comedian and podcaster Roz Hernandez, as she spreads transgender joy across the country on an epic fifty-show summer road trip tour. This one-of-a-kind audiobook blends memoir with exclusive audio from Roz's stand-up and behind-the-scenes moments from her life on the road.

Over 13,000 miles behind the wheel. Fifty standup comedy shows. One funny transgender lady on an epic summer adventure.

Roz Hernandez should be more famous. She thinks so, anyway. The problem is, she needs more of the right people to know who she is. And in a deeply divided country where transgender people are under constant attack, Roz—all 6'1" of her, usually dressed in rhinestones, feathers, and platform boots—sometimes feels as though her very existence is too controversial for the masses.

When she found herself with an empty calendar and a refusal to put her dreams on hold, Roz decided to spend the summer of 2025 looking for the people who will truly get her, performing stand-up in the most magical places across America she can think of: gay bars. Oh, and since she couldn’t afford a private jet or even a tour bus, she was going to drive herself across the country to do it. Alone. What could go wrong?

Peeing in an Empty Bottle tracks Roz's hilarious, heartfelt journey from iconic LGBTQ+ venues like New York City's Stonewall Inn to off-the-beaten-path spots that this Hollywood diva never thought she would find herself in. With a tape recorder in hand, Roz documents all the highs and lows, talks to fellow queer performers and venue owners that she meets along the way, and checks in with her own friends and family back home. This immersive memoir includes exclusive material from Roz's stand-up comedy shows, where she attempts to unite people the only way she knows how: laughter.

Critic reviews

"Hernandez brings the laughs with this lively and timely audio original memoir."
"Hernandez describes what it's like being a transgender comedian today, a time when, she notes, it's difficult to be trans in America. Her narration is funny, theatrical, and at times exaggerated as she emphasizes the value of humor in helping a wider audience relate to trans people. She describes her family background and how she came to comedy as well as life on the road as a stand-up comedian. The audio production includes recordings of Hernandez’s live performances and conversations with family, friends, and members of queer communities in various cities sharing their experiences in the current political climate."
Praise for Roz Hernandez

“Roz is the heroine you need to see in this terrible and trying time! Her voice is essential, hilarious, profane and profound! She is my drug.” (Margaret Cho)
“I toured with Roz and I could say a lot about her, but I'll just say that she is hilarious. I won't comment on her personality." (Bob the Drag Queen)

I had the best time listening to this audiobook! Even if you’re not familiar with Roz, you will enjoy it. It’s a travel diary where you’ll learn about the unique challenges facing a trans comedian on the road in America, and you also get to hear real conversations with LGBTQIA+ people met along the journey.

Fascinating look into life on the road as a trans comedian
