Leslie F*cking Jones

De: Leslie Jones, Chris Rock - foreword

Narrado por: Leslie Jones, Chris Rock

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 the f*cking BEST

Leslie is amazing. And this audiobook is extraordinary— because it isn't like a book at ALL. No rehearsed dictation or canned cadence, none of that stilted nonsense. It's like she's sitting at your kitchen table, laying out all these poignant stories and you end up right there with her, laughing and crying and laughing again. This isn't just a book. It's so much more than that. Thank you so much for sharing pieces of yourself with this book, Leslie! Your words are giving me life, truly they are.

GOAT

Don’t hesitate. Love Leslie & every word. Loved learning that we grew up in some of the same places especially. Come for the real talk & stay for the candor.

You have to hear it from Leslie Jones Herself!

Hearing her story in her own words and voice was so amazing! I was spellbound with the way she took you all the way through every scene with her. All of the real talk!! I have such a love for you and hope to see you live, but in the meantime “Did it “!

True Grace

I have always loved Leslie Jones as a performer. Her love and grace has always shined through in everything she does. I never know why until this book. After hearing Leslie tell her story on Audible, I want to invite her to my house to share more stories and grace. Thank you Leslie for making the world a little brighter and more tolerable through your work.

Donate the Book and Listen to this Audio!!!!!

Leslie Jones is sincere and open about so much of her life. I was laughing out loud and crying as I listened to it. She brings reality home.

Laughter, Tears and more Laughter -LOVED this

I cried, I laughed had people looking at me funny when I was listening out in public because I couldn’t hold it in -probably my favorite audiobook ever

RIVETING!!!

When I saw the length of the audio was 16 hours I thought: HOW MANY PAGES DID SHE WRITE?! Come to find out, she gets so wrapped up in the stories that will go off on tangents to help give you a bit more insight into why things are happening the way they are. It made me feel like we were sitting on the couch, having coffee and talking. I hung onto every word and was so sad it was over that I listened all the way to the end credits. EVEN THAT WAS FUNNY! I loved loved loved this audiobook. Thank you for sharing your story, Ms. Jones. I was a huge fan before I listened to the book, and now my level of admiration is tenfold.

Great F••••n Book!!
