Our view
“Yes Please” is a comedian’s memoir at its funniest and warmest when heard in the author’s own voice. Listeners keep recommending the audiobook, where the stories of childhood, her television years and motherhood sound like relaxed conversation, with guest voices joining in. It mixes true episodes, invented anecdotes and advice rather than telling a life in order, and suits anyone who already likes her work or simply wants a good-hearted laugh.
