About this listen

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER with 5+ hours of bonus material not found in the print version and read by Leslie Jones. AudioFile Magazine awarded the recording an ‘Earphones Award’, saying: “No listener can leave this memoir unaffected as Jones laughs and sobs, sharing the highs and lows, joys and sorrows of her full life.”

Hey you guys, it’s Leslie. I’m excited to share my story with you.

Now, I’m gonna be honest: Some of the details might be vague because a b*tch is fifty-five and she’s smoked a ton of weed. But while bits might be a touch hazy, I can promise you the underlying truth is REAL. Whether I’m talking about my childhood growing up in the South, my early stand-up days driving from gig to gig through the darkest parts of our country and praying I wouldn’t get murdered, what Chris Rock told Lorne Michaels, that time I wanted to shoot Whoopi Goldberg on SNL, and yeah, I’ll tell you all about Ghostbusters and the nudes and Supermarket Sweep and The Daily Show . . . I’m sharing it all here. It’s not easy being a woman in comedy, especially when you’re a tall-*ss Black woman with a trumpet voice. I have to fight so that no one takes me for granted, and no one takes advantage. These are the stories that explain why. (Cue the Law & Order theme.)

She’s undeniable!

I just know the physical book is nothing like the audiobook, and I’m sad for those who are missing out.

I always liked Leslie Jones...

... and after reading this book, I LOVE her! She's gone through so much and has kept a positive attitude with impeccable humour. I don't even know how you'd read the hard copy of this book... her laugh is infectious!

Loved it

Didn’t feel like she was reading a book- felt like she was in the room talking to me. Exactly what I wanted

The tickle

Damn - Leslie Jones… you’re a wow. I am so glad I listened to you narrate this - never heard anything like this. You are such a star and so much real talk. Major takeaways (I.e. my funeral plans are definitely sub-par), and major tickles. Thank you SO much for gifting the world with your light. I’m devastated the book is done - I may have to listen to this again. So much love.

Sad that it’s over

This book was an absolute blast to listen to. It felt like I was right there in the room w/ Leslie for the laughter and the tears. I’ve loved Leslie since Game of Jones and continue to love anything she puts out into the world (more Daily Show pls!). Her story is an inspiration for any woman who wants to show up and be themselves in all that they do. To keep learning, growing and take care of those around you.

I just really liked hearing her story. She worked hard to get where she is and I miss her on SNL. Just watch your MF after listening to this!

I loved this!

I only knew LJ from SNL . Thought us was funny and talented. This book talks of her humble beginnings and real life challenges. I have nothing but respect for LJ. Many time I laughed out loud to myself 😃

Does not disappoint!

True American dream winner Leslie Jones is hilarious and raw telling her life story.
Great grown ass woman advice for life.
Now I feel like I have to read the paper book to see how much more she added in the audiobook version.
Love you Leslie
