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.

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.

Finished this in a day!

I have always been a fan of Leslie Jordan from his role in Will & Grace. Everything he has done since then, I have lapped up, everything about him brings me comfort & this book done just that. It was lovely to hear Leslie narrate his stories with such honesty & wisdom, the tone in his story telling is just something that I think many can capture. Even at times, when the book had a more serious themes, he delivered it in such a way that made for excellent listening. Can’t believe I finished it in a day but glad that I did. Amazing & would recommend to all. Thank You Leslie - May your star shine forever more 💫💫💫

Funny, Sweet and Engaging

I had to buy this book just after Leslie Jordan's passing. He kept me and many others entertained during the pandemic so it felt like a necessary purchase

As a straight man who regularly listens to fantasy, Game Of Thrones, Lord Of The Rings The Witcher, The Dresden Files etc. this doesn't seem like the right book for me, but I absolutely loved it, it was sweet, funny and I loved the stories he told. it's clear he could tell a million more

It's definitely worth a listen
