About this listen

 Spirited and whip-smart, these laugh-out-loud autobiographical essays are "a masterpiece" from the Emmy Award-winning actress and comedy writer known for 30 Rock, Mean Girls, and SNL" (Sunday Telegraph).

Before Liz Lemon, before "Weekend Update," before "Sarah Palin," Tina Fey was just a young girl with a dream: a recurring stress dream that she was being chased through a local airport by her middle-school gym teacher. She also had a dream that one day she would be a comedian on TV.

She has seen both these dreams come true.

At last, Tina Fey's story can be told. From her youthful days as a vicious nerd to her tour of duty on Saturday Night Live; from her passionately halfhearted pursuit of physical beauty to her life as a mother eating things off the floor; from her one-sided college romance to her nearly fatal honeymoon -- from the beginning of this paragraph to this final sentence.

Tina Fey reveals all, and proves what we've always suspected: you're no one until someone calls you bossy.

Not the best sound quality but Tina is a good narrator. A clip of an SNL sketch is included too which I enjoyed.

Good if you are a fan

I've loved listening to biographies read by the author and this one was no exception!

Don’t have expectations; just some great laughs! Tina is a wonderful and witty performer, and I really did laugh more than I thought I would, and have doubled my knowledge of feminine hygiene. Spoiler alert: feminine hygiene is discussed more here than in my entire lifetime...👀

Just good enough!!

It was entertaining to listen to. I haven't watched SNL nor 30 Rock, so I missed a lot of references, so not all jokes landed with me.

Seriously, not worth the time. J was hoping for a funny read and Tina was amazing at reading her book, but it is far from hilarious. There are some funny moments but not yhe funny one you need to uplift you at times of covid pandemic. Bug then again, I never loved the 30 Rock show either

What's funny about it?
