I have been a fan of Bob Mortimer's since I saw him on Taskmaster and hearing some of the wild stories that he tells on Would I Lie To You inspired me to pick up his memoir. If you have enjoyed his work on these shows, I think you will thoroughly enjoy this memoir. I especially recommend the audiobook as Bob narrates it himself. Hearing about how he got into comedy was one of the most interesting aspects of this story because it was never something that he anticipated, it's just something that he clearly finds a lot of fun doing. This feeling suffuses the entire memoir. The very last section, which deals with Bob recalling how he was shy and overcame his shyness brought a smile to my face and was the perfect way to finish off this memoir. Just as charming, weird, and honest as I find Mortimer's visits to quiz shows, this memoir is a real treat.
