Yes Please

Audie Award, Humor, 2015

Amy Poehler is hosting a dinner party and you’re invited to listen in! 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.

Hear Amy’s thoughts on her “too safe” childhood outside of Boston, her early days in New York City, her ideas about Hollywood, and her joy at being told she has a “face for wigs.”. She’s got even more to say after that.

Also included? A one-night-only live performance at Poehler’s Upright Citizens Brigade Theater where Amy reads a chapter live in front of a 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 hearing this collection of stories, thoughts, ideas, lists, and haikus from the mind—and in the voice—of one of our most beloved entertainers.

Yes Please is filled with wisdom to laugh at and live by.

“Actress and comedian Amy Poehler’s memoir is full of charm and life lessons, but what’s REALLY fun is how out of the box the audiobook production is. Listeners know they’re getting something special, unique, and a bit absurd right from the start when Poehler claims to be narrating from her own personal audio booth, built at the base of Mt. Rushmore. Poehler sounds consistently warm, funny, and genuine, and it’s only a matter of time before she’ll have you laughing out loud. When she’s joined in “her” studio by Seth Meyers and Mike Schur to reminisce about Saturday Night Live and Parks and Recreation, it sounds like we’re overhearing candid (and giggly) conversations between friends. Cameos from Carol Burnett, Kathleen Turner, Patrick Stewart (intoning strange haikus), and even Amy’s parents add even more flavor. What a treat.” (AudioFile)
