Summary

New York Times and USA Today Bestseller

Audie Award Winner, Humor

Viral sensation and Emmy Award-winner Leslie Jordan regales fans with entertaining stories about the odd, funny, and unforgettable events in his life in this unmissable essay collection that echoes his droll, irreverent voice.

When actor Leslie Jordan learned he had “gone viral,” he had no idea what that meant or how much his life was about to change. On Instagram, his uproarious videos have entertained millions and have made him a global celebrity. Now, he brings his bon vivance to the page with this collection of intimate and sassy essays.

Bursting with color and life, dripping with his puckish Southern charm, How Y’all Doing? is Leslie doing what Leslie does best: telling stories that make us laugh and lift our spirits even in the darkest days. Whether he’s writing about his brush with a group of ruffians in a West Hollywood Starbucks, or an unexpected phone call from legendary Hollywood start Debbie Reynolds, Leslie infuses each story with his fresh and saucy humor and pure heart.

How Y’all Doing? is an authentic, warm, and joyful portrait of an American Sweetheart— a Southern Baptist celebutante, first-rate raconteur, and keen observer of the odd side of life whose quirky wit rivals the likes of Amy Sedaris, Jenny Lawson, David Rakoff, and Sarah Vowell.

Beautiful stories, beautiful man

I strangely downloaded this book on the day Leslie passed away. I didn’t find out till a few days later what had happened. His stories are wonderful, funny, inspiring and overall he makes you want to be a better person. Loved him, loved the book, rest in peace Leslie!

Thank you for letting us in to your life Gunkle.

I listened to Leslie Jordan's book days after his passing. The feeling that he's no longer here is heartbreaking, but to hear his endearing tones share about his life is heartwarming.

I feel so grateful that he wrote this book.
So fun, entertaining yet informative. I feel previlaged that I gained a gunkle.

God bless you Leslie Jordan. Be amongst your angels. Rest in peace.

A wholesome dose of Leslie Jordan

I absolutely loved this audio book. I could listen to Leslie for much longer than the 4 hours of the book. The book is witty, funny and humble. Leslie is honest and authentic. Such a loss to the LGBTQI+ community, Leslie was a diamond of an elder.
If you like his Instagram posts you’ll love this book.
