The brilliantly funny Sunday Times top ten bestseller. Alan Carr tells his life story in his own words, from growing up in a football-mad family in Northampton to his rise as one of Britain's best-loved comedians. ' Puberty had been unkind. Whereas it had come in the night & left the other boys with chiselled, stubbly chins & deep masculine voices, I'd been left with a huge pair of knockers & the voice of a pensioner.' Alan Carr Alan Carr grew up in one of the most boring towns in England
- Northampton. A place known for making shoes. It was also known for its football club, Northampton Town FC. Alan's dad as manager of the club was a local hero. A dream come true for most lads, but not Alan. Alan wore glasses & had man boobs at 14. He did not like P.E. In his very first book, Alan tells his life story, ('oh & what a life') with his unique twist of natural, observational humour
- 'I'm not saying I'm a fantasist but there have been times when things that I've seen on television when I was younger have tended to seep into my subconscious & blended into my own life. I remember telling my Mum about the time I stopped that woman from having a diamond encrusted necklace stolen & she'd say ' No Alan, that was Poirot.' With his tongue-in-cheek, end of pier humour that made him famous, Alan describes an ordinary life in bursts of technicolour. His journey from awkward schoolboy hiding his man-boobs on the pitch, drinking tea with the dinner ladies & working in a call centre, to becoming one of our best-loved comedians likened to the great Frankie Howerd, make his book a guaranteed tickler with a laugh-out-loud gag on every page.
