Yet another cash-in from one of Britain’s best-loved comedians.
Retelling the same anecdotes he’s used in many previous books, yet this time even bold enough to make reference to this fact.
There’s not much new here to really enjoy, though the audiobook does use real clips from the shows which adds something to the nostalgic feel the book has. At times it feels like someone indulging in photos they’ve found in their attic (I’m assuming he wrote in in lockdown when there wasn’t much else to do).
At it’s best, it reminds you of just how important his comedy has been in Britain over the past 30 years, and how massive his output has been.
But then, as most of his fans already appreciate that, there’s not much new to be found here.
