ABOUT THIS AUDIBLE ORIGINAL

Please note: This content is not for kids. It is for mature audiences only. This audio comedy features sexual content, adult language and themes, and violence against peasants and hobgoblins alike. Discretion is advised.

Heads Will Roll is an Audible Original from Saturday Night Live star Kate McKinnon and her cocreator/costar (and real-life sister) Emily Lynne. Produced by Broadway Video, this is not an audiobook - it’s a 10-episode, star-studded audio comedy that features performances from Meryl Streep, Tim Gunn, Peter Dinklage, Queer Eye’s Fab Five, and so many more.

Queen Mortuana of the Night Realm (McKinnon) and her ditsy raven minion JoJo (Lynne) receive a prophecy about a peasant uprising. Together, they must journey to find the “Shard of Acquiescence”, which will put down the rebellion and save the throne. Will their friendship survive sensitive generals, chatty sex slaves, whiny behemoths, princes with bird fetishes, and the notion of democracy?

This raunchy satire also includes the wicked talents of Andrea Martin, Carol Kane, Audra McDonald, Aidy Bryant, Alex Moffat, Heidi Gardner, Chris Redd, Steve Higgins, Bob the Drag Queen, Esther Perel, and more. So, hold on to your head, and let the bad times roll.

This was incredibly performed, superbly funny and terribly entertaining. I loved the performances of Kate and Emily and so many other familiar voices. I devoured this and I'm hoping for more some day!

Brilliant!

I thought I'd give this a go as I was looking for something funny and easy-
going from the Plus Catalogue, and I was not disappointed. For the first episode or two I thought it was amusing, if not laugh-out-loud funny, but after that I found myself cackling with laughter and really looking forward to the next calamity. I loved the characters, Mortuana was definitely doing everything right, and it had an excellent storyline and carried itself along well, without getting too bogged down in minor details or background lore. It really was just a ridiculous, enjoyable ride and I'm really hoping for a second season!

I'll admit I found the bards a bit tedious, yes, we get it, you're definitely not virgins. I feel like more could have been done with those two background characters to make them less tiresome, but honestly, as they weren't part of the main story and the other characters were all so well done, I didn't feel it was worth losing a star on the review for. Honestly, this was really good fun and I would definitely recommend giving this a listen.

And can we please get another season!

Light-hearted, entertaining fun
