About this audiobook

GRAMMY NOMINEE

Audie Award, Humor, 2015

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.

Boring 😴 White, rich nostalgia as self indulgent prose. I loved Parks and Rec, I thought this book had the same wholesome, funny sensitivity. However I didn't find any chapter particularly interesting. It feels very underdeveloped. Some parts almost felt deep or funny, but somehow they fell short.

Best celebrity book I've read. Amy Poehler is hilarious and her book is too, but her wisdom and insight by far outshine the jokes and anecdotes in "Yes Please." Amy balances vibrant humor and grounded observations about love, culture, and the daily act of LIVING.
