Yes Please - Audiobook

written and read by Amy Poehler

Amy Poehler is hosting a dinner party and you're invited! Welcome to the audiobook edition of Amy Poehler's YES PLEASE. The guest list is star-studded with vocal appearances from Carol Burnett, Seth Meyers, Michael Schur, Patrick Stewart, Kathleen Turner, and even Amy's parents --- YES PLEASE is the ultimate audiobook extravaganza.

Also included? A one night only live performance at Poehler's Upright Citizens Brigade Theater. Hear Amy read a chapter live in front of a young and attractive Los Angeles audience.

While listening to YES PLEASE, you'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll become convinced that your phone is trying to kill you. Don't miss this collection of stories, thoughts, ideas, lists and haikus from the mind of one of our most beloved entertainers. Offering Amy's thoughts on everything from her "too safe" childhood outside of Boston to her early days in New York City, her ideas about Hollywood and "the biz," the demon that looks back at all of us in the mirror, and her joy at being told she has a "face for wigs" --- YES PLEASE is chock-full of words, and wisdom, to live by.

 

Carol’s Audiobook Editorial Comment:   I quickly said “Yes, please” when I was offered this audiobook. I have watched a few sketches of Amy’s on SNL, but have never watched Parks and Recreation. Her frank talk about her marriage and the unraveling of it, as well as the challenges and pleasures of mothering two young boys was a real peek behind the curtain. Poehler assembles an ensemble cast --- everyone from Seth Myers to her parents to Carol Burnett, among others --- which definitely enhances the story. She constantly plays to the audio audience from her super special audio booth. Though I missed the heavy stock and lush photos from the print edition, Amy’s performance definitely makes this listen worthwhile!
