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.)

My favorite memoir ever!

Many of her experiences elicit raw and naked emotion and as she recounts these experiences, she becomes teary or openly breaks down and sobs and my eyes welled with tears with her. Other anecdotes brought cackles of laughter both from her and myself.
I really appreciated her thoughtful approach to narrating her book. I’ve always found her comedy to be brilliant and for her to personalize the narration and draw the listener in to making them feel like we are sharing stories over some drinks….well, it feels like she’s a new bestie. You want to celebrate her triumphs and hug her as she grieves.
I’m not sure the written book will do the entertainment value justice. If you can handle audiobooks, I highly suggest listening over reading this one. Also, trigger warning for SA as a toddler. No details are given, she focuses on how it affected her behavior and acting out.
Get the audiobook!!
