About this listen

A bad best man’s speech can ruin a wedding. Why do we plan every detail of a perfect day and then give the groom’s idiot best friend five minutes of total power?

Enter Nate (Glen Powell), a speechwriter-for-hire who helps people write incredible best man speeches. To keep the best man from embarrassing himself (and the newlyweds), Nate uses his list of don’ts: Don’t mention the exes, don’t be rated R, and don’t bum everyone out. Nate’s system never fails. That is, until he meets Dan (Nicholas Braun), the dopey, hopelessly awkward best man for the biggest social media influencer’s wedding of the year. On top of that, Nate just got engaged to the woman of his dreams, and now he has to find his own best man–forcing him to confront a brutal friendship breakup with his former best friend.

As Nate helps Dan with his speech, he explores the insane and often idiotic world of male friendship and must come up with an answer to the one question most men never think about: Why is their best friend their best friend?

Featuring an all-star cast including Ashley Park, D’Arcy Carden, Lance Bass, Zach Braff, and more, The Best Man’s Ghostwriter is a laugh-out-loud, heartfelt audio show written and directed by comedian and former real-life best man’s ghostwriter, Matthew Starr.

Editorial Review

Hot Glen Summer for your ears
With the perfect balance of humour and heart, The Best Man's Ghostwriter is a must-listen for anyone who's ever had a best friend – or been part of a wedding party gone haywire. Hollywood heartthrobs Glen Powell and Nicholas Braun have fantastic chemistry (you can absolutely tell that these real-life friends recorded their scenes together), and their performances are elevated by cameos from comedy greats like D’Arcy Carden, Jason Mantzoukas, Jack McBrayer and more. While the premise centres on a disastrous best man speech, there's a heartwarming message about vulnerability amid the hilarious hijinks, and some actually helpful speech-writing tips. Highly recommended for a hefty dose of laughs and unexpected poignancy. Bonus: You can close your eyes and picture Glen Powell in a tuxedo the whole time. — Robyn F., Audible Editor

Great story of male friendship

I enjoyed the performance. The difference voices make it come alive. Lots of humour and funny stories. Good to listen too on dog walks. A must listen too for Glen Powell fans. I could see this as a Netflix series.

I Just Love Audible

This was fast paced and very enjoyable. It had this constant motion to it and I never got bored, the story was fun and probably super relatable to most people going through the wedding planning. Glenn has a great audio voice and the rest of supporting crew were amazing. Absolutely loved this audiobook.

Characters oozed off the earbuds

Glen Powell and cast pulled out all the stops for a heartwarming story about friendship. If you have to write a best man's speech realty good advice too.
