Publisher's Summary
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.

Rolled on the Floor Laughing!
What a rip-snorting, guffaw-inducing, boredom-quelling audiobook!
This original publication is a fantastic way to while away the hours with something light and delightful. A fun performance with an all-star cast (I think I practically squealed when I got to the chapter about the Sirens).
Sure, it's a pretty basic storyline, but it was peppered with wit and naughty one-liners that made up for any lack of storyline finesse. But, who am I kidding here? Those one-liners are the leading star of this audiobook (alongside the fabulous Kate and Emily).
Come for the cast, stay for the hilarious banter.

Brilliant!! 😂
I've never listened to an audio play like this before, but this was the perfect one to start with. It was so freaking hilarious!! Quite a bit of swearing and raunch, if you don't like SNL type humour steer clear, the rest of you will LOVE it! I went my pants laughing and I will definitely listen again. Telling all my friends about this...

Hilarious
Very American. Nonetheless very funny. Highly recommended although be warned it’s for adults only. You can’t tell when an f-bomb (or worse) is going to drop.

Totally hilarious
This is the best full cast audio production I have ever listened to. It was brilliant, the characters were engaging, the story line really compelling and it was a full cinematic audio experience. I laughed aloud so often, especially at some of the surprising cameos. I would give it 10 stars if I could. Note it did take me about 2 episodes to get into it but I persevered because of the other good reviews. And it paid off. I hope audible will make more content like this.
