During the lockdown period of the pandemic, actor Leslie Jordan delighted his “fellow hunker downers” with his pillow talk on Instagram.

Celebrity stories, quips about cooking, observing small joys like leaving the house for a dental appointment: Leslie shared it all with deadpan delivery.

Enjoy more of his stories in his book, How Y’all Doing: Misadventures and Mischief From a Life Well Lived. Leslie is a born performer and ran his one-man show for years. He’s honed his storytelling skills on the road, and presents each tale with a balance of self-reflection, self-deprecation, and devastating punchlines.

I recommend you listen to the audiobook on CD or on OverDrive’s Libby App.
