About the Author
Alan Carr was born in Weymouth in 1976 and grew up mainly in Northampton. He is the son of football manager Graham Carr. He won the BBC New Comedian of the Year in 2001 and his stand-up tour, filmed for a DVD Tooth Fairy; was a nation-wide sell-out. Alan lives in London.
Review
`Carr's comic timing works every bit as well on the page as it does on stage, making this easily the funniest book of the year.'***** HEAT `joyous stuff that anyone can relate to.' Independent `...written in a good-hearted, amusing tone but manages nonetheless to be quite candid.' Sunday Express `[He] mixes the populism of Peter Kay with the camp of Larry Grayson.' Evening Standard `Alan Carr is the spiritual son of Frankie Howerd.' City Life

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 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 Britains best-loved comedians. Puberty had been unkind. Whereas it had come in the night and left the other boys with chiselled, stubbly chins and deep masculine voices, Id been left with a huge pair of knockers and 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. Alans dad as manager of the club was a local hero. A dream come true for most lads, but not Alan. Alan wore glasses and had man boobs at 14. He did not like P.E. In his very first book, Alan tells his life story, (oh and what a life) with his unique twist of natural, observational humour Im not saying Im a fantasist but there have been times when things that Ive seen on television when I was younger have tended to seep into my subconscious and blended into my own life. I remember telling my Mum about the time I stopped that woman from having a diamond encrusted necklace stolen and shed 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 and 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. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001177386
