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.

Funny, emotional, never a dull moment.

Profile Avatar Katherine Koch Mar 2017

This is the BEST audiobook I've ever listened to! Even if you've read the book, you have to listen to this. It is so well done. I've listened to at least one hundred audiobooks and my bar is set high for narrators. The wrong one can ruin a book and the right one elevates it. She's hilarious and I want to be her friend even more after listening to this. She's so honest and funny. I love how she has her friends and family in this. It was very well done. Extremely entertaining. Please do yourself a favor and listen to this now!

This book is nothing short of amazing. It is funny, inspiring, and honest.

Profile Avatar Sarah N. Aug 2018

it was such a good listen:)

Profile Avatar Beth San Miguel Mar 2015

This book is hilarious, inspiring and uplifting. The best part is that Amy Poehler narrates, which makes you feel like she's your new best friend, just sitting next you on your road trip, telling you all her stories.

I LOVED this book and the narration was brilliant.

Amy Poehler is always funny, this had some humor, some interesting stories, celebrity gossip, and a fun energy that made me smile on my way to work.

Profile Avatar DebB May 2024

I wasn't very familiar with Amy before listening to this... now I want to be her friend. She's the perfect blend of hilarious, sincere, bright, sarcastic and big-hearted.

Profile Avatar Donya F. Dec 2023

Enjoyed this audiobook ❤️

Profile Avatar Bo A. Dec 2023

The thread throughout the book is a little hard to find, but Amys natural charm and funny bones brings it on home. All in all a good time.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Sep 2023

good, not great, but good

Profile Avatar Anonymous Apr 2022

Dire. What was the point of this book? Was it satirical and I missed it? Has about seven endings, none of which came soon enough.

Profile Avatar Dawn S. Feb 2021

I loved it! She really told a beautiful story of her life I enjoyed it it was funny It was insightful. She included a lot of things that most celebrities probably would not admit. I love that she was honest and real and the language, all the naughty language, I loved it. I didn't want it to end.

Nice book awesome history

Profile Avatar Stacey C. Aug 2020

Amy is funny, poignant, honest, and thoughtful provoking. She was able to make me laugh out loud, cry, feel joy and sorrow all with the span of a few words. I loved this book and hope she writes (and reads) more. 100% pure enjoyment.

Profile Avatar Mary K. May 2020

Great book! Funny, heartwarming and totally relatable!! Have listened to many chapters over and over again because Amy Poehler’s voice is so calming and familiar but still interesting enough that I didn’t fall asleep! You just feel like you’re listening to an old friend telling the tales of their lives before you met.❤️

Profile Avatar Ramya K. Feb 2020

Hilarious and genuine and as an avid SNL fan thoroughly enjoyable. Her narration just takes everything to the next level. Definitely worth listening to.

Profile Avatar SarahAnn Machin Sep 2019

While there were some words of wisdom and lessons you could take away from this, and her narrating was super relaxing and calming, it definitely felt like a book for someone who's more interested in the career aspect of biographies. I'm not into SNL like, at all, so whenever she was talking about SNL, or anything that had to do with her career, it definitely seemed to drag more. I was really more drawn to when she talked about Parks and Rec, but that might be because I'm a fan of that show. I was here for the wisdom, advice, and storytelling, not so much talking about her career.

Profile Avatar Sue O. Aug 2019

Great book with fabulous narration. Loved the guest narrators and the audio clips of shows etc. Felt genuine with Amy’s hilarious take on life, love and the universe. Favorite audio book to date Hope Amy does a sequel, but it’s hard work writing a book evidently

Profile Avatar Tara B. Jun 2019

Highly entertaining.

Profile Avatar Jillian R. Apr 2019

I really enjoyed listening to this. The fact that she has multiple comedians/famous individuals read titles/paragraphs/chapters makes the listen that much more interesting. It’s definitely a fun read/listen.

Profile Avatar Jessica E. Jan 2019

This autobiography is outstanding entirely. It is well structured, expertly read, and poignantly HILARIOUS. I loved learning more about Amy’s personality and the pieces and people of her life she finds most important. I hope eventually there’s another.

Profile Avatar Margaret S Apr 2018

Funny and deep at the same time.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Nov 2017

Great listen! Really enjoyed the story of her life to date.

Profile Avatar Jessica B Sep 2017

Really enjoyable listen. Liked hearing Seth Meyers' chapter about Amy. There were some great little nuggets of life wisdom in this book, mixed with humor and silliness. Lots of heart. I'd like to be Amy's friend, too.

Profile Avatar Jessica C Jul 2017

Real fun listen! Amy Poehler tells it like it is. The special guests add a whole other level to the listen. Very much enjoyed!

Profile Avatar MA A Jun 2017

Laughed out loud more than usual. Very clear images painted and very relatable. Loved the stories and the pace of the reading. Well written and well read.

Profile Avatar Nick T May 2017

The style was unique put fell a little short for me. I was hoping for a little more depth in the stories. Always great to have the author of a biography also be the narrator.

Profile Avatar Jill T May 2017

This was a fun read. My favorite part was the section about working moms and stay at home moms; it was worth reading just for that section alone! Amy has a huge heart and I feel like it really shows in her writing.

Profile Avatar Grace Akhrem Feb 2017

This was a really cute book, it was nice to hear Amy Poehler's voice in first person. I have a definitely recommend this book to a friend.

Profile Avatar Miriam Morgan Jan 2017

Amy is smart and funny and her personality really comes through in her narration

Profile Avatar Krista Davis Dec 2016

Not just a plain read through! At times I looked like a crazy person laughing hysterically while driving and/or sitting in my car! Thanks for keeping it real Amy!

I love Amy Poehler even more now. It's funny, intellectual, and entertaining.

This books is so awesome. Amy keeps it real and honest. I truly appreciate this book. It will not be a disappointment.

Profile Avatar Gilliam Oler Oct 2016

This book is beautiful. It made me laugh, cry, and think. It is both comical and meaningful. I've now listened to it 3 times. You WILL NOT be disappointed.

Profile Avatar Rachel Baket Sep 2016

Amy focuses a lot on SNL. I was hoping to hear about more funny stories about her life, not just her career.

Profile Avatar Emma Thoden Aug 2016

Hearing this book in her voice made it 10x better. So great

Profile Avatar David Blackburn Jul 2016

thank you amy poehler, this was a fantastic audio book!!!

Profile Avatar Carolyn Talbot Jun 2016

Truly excellent, easy to listen to. Poehler will seem like one of your best girlfriends--one who can get you behind the curtain and into the writers' room at SNL.

Profile Avatar Hillary Kuklenski Jun 2016

This book was very funny. Amy writes honestly and from a feminist perspective. She tells stories of her life in a comical was

Witty advice, hilarious stories, brilliant narration.

Loved this book! Amy is smart, insightful and hilarious! Great book for all women!

Profile Avatar Jessica Bell Jul 2015

I really loved this book. There were a few boring moments scattered through, but I adore Amy Poehler and absolutely loved listening to her narrate this. I loved hearing her stories from the UCB days up to the current filming of Parks and Rec. It's worth a listen!

Profile Avatar Alyson Aliano Jul 2015

AMAZING. Listen to this now!!!! So funny, honest, smart, a true delight! I would listen to this again and again!

Great book. Funny yet inspiring and extremely clever

Profile Avatar Julie Paulsen Jun 2015

I love Amy poehler! I love this book even more. I gained a lot of respect for Amy when listening to this book. I will forever use her advice and stories to prove people wrong about something or to give facts about her or anything she referred to in this book. I am so proud of her! You should definitely get this book! It's incredible.

Profile Avatar Nelly Navarro-Britt Jun 2015

This book is an autobiography. It's hilarious & has awesome narrators. I don't think it would have been as funny if I read it.

Profile Avatar Amanda Krzywonski Jun 2015

Absolutely wonderful. I loved Amy for such a long time, and seeing into her life has helped me understand her comedy and acting. A must-read!!!

Profile Avatar Tracie Thomas May 2015

Truly expected more. It was remotely entertaining here and there but it seemed to reveal what I didn't want to know about Ms. Poehler. That she's rather self serving and not that intelligent or funny. It was disappointing as I'm a fan of SNL. In a sentence, it's shallow.

Profile Avatar Veena Viswanathan Apr 2015

Remarkably philosophical while utterly charming. Well done Amy Poehler!

Profile Avatar Marian Cannell Apr 2015

I just want to say this: I LOVE Amy Poehler. I do, her comedy style makes me laugh and I think she is utterly charming. I did not like this book. This in itself is so upsetting, because I wanted SO BADLY to like it. The best parts of her book are the ones that you feel like you can connect to her, but these moments are few. There is a lot of name dropping and a lot of times where you sit there thinking, "Well, then. How lovely for you, Amy Poehler."

Profile Avatar michael cook Apr 2015

I lost all respect for Amy Poehler. In "Yes Please" when she told the story about the man who handed her a script while she was sleeping on the train. Too bad, you had it going girl. Michael Cook

Profile Avatar Lori Lagasse Jan 2015

Amy was AMAZING at narrating her book. Hilarious and genuine! I would read any and all books she writes.

Profile Avatar Kourtney Day Jan 2015

This book made me feel like my mom was traveling with me as I drove across country. Such a comfort and a treat. I love you and I like you Amy Poehler.http://www.audiobooks.com/audiobook/yes-please/221714#

Profile Avatar James Williams Dec 2014

This book is not only funny, it's insightful and inspiring and it reveals an evolved humanity of a strong and super intelligent woman. It is full of compassion and inspires one to try harder and be better. Definitely not what I was expecting-- more substantive and entertaining than the typical celebrity memoir.

Profile Avatar Kathy Corona Dec 2014

Boring boring boring. And the point is?? Ah nothing just useless babel

Profile Avatar DEWITT WOOD Dec 2014

Just a bunch of name dropping and babble with some big name celebs trying to save it. About hallf way through I'd heard enough, the book really has no point.

Profile Avatar Shanna Duff Dec 2014

Cute and inspiring in parts. Overall an enjoyable listen. Not as funny as Tina Fey's book Bossypants, but their writing styles are very similar and I still enjoyed hearing Amy's story!
