Pat Sharp is a man out of time. For those of a certain generation, he is an iconic figure synonymous with good fun, great hair and excess gunge. For others, he's just that bloke with a mullet. Fame is a fickle beast and, since the cancellation of Fun House in 1999 ('Just ten years into its run, when it was finally finding its feet'), Pat has become a reclusive figure, only emerging from his splendid isolation to pop up on things like I'm A Celebrity: Get Me Out Of Here, Never Mind the Buzzcocks and Come Dine with Me. Until now. With time on his hands and now reliant on a faulty memory, Pat has expertly blended fact and . . . fiction: revealing all about his adventures with David Hassselhoff at the Berlin Wall in 1989; how he broke up a fight between Damon Albarn and Liam Gallagher at a house party; the time he suggested Geri's dress be a Union Jack; and much more. A definitive work (based on very little fact) that anatomises the cultural trends of the '80s and '90s, Re-run the Fun is just the kind of sorta-biography we need in these turbulent times. Finally, the Great British public can learn what life is like just about in sight of the top - the highs, the lows and the hair tips. Ref MM 4.…

For those of a certain generation, Pat Sharp is an iconic figure synonymous with good fun, great hair and gunge. For others he's just that bloke with a mullet. Fame is a fickle beast and, since the final Fun House aired in 2000, Pat has become a reclusive figure, only emerging from his ivory tower to pop up on things like I'm a Celebrity, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Celebrity Coach Trip, Pointless Celebrities, Through the Keyhole, and Celebrity Come Dine with Me.
Until now.
Re-run the Fun will blend fact and fiction in a manner reminiscent of I, Partridge and Me Cheeta. It will guide the reader from a dingy Radio 1 studio to David Hasselhoff atop the Berlin Wall; from Fun House to breaking up a fight between Damon and Liam at a (fun) house party; from presenting Top of the Pops to the time he suggested Geri's dress be a Union Jack; to masterminding (and acting as support) at the now-legendary Bros revival gigs; and much, much more. Pat has the scars, and the photos, to prove it all.
A definitive work that anatomises the cultural trends of the 80s and 90s, Re-Run the Fun harks back to a time when life was purer and simpler. And, finally, the Great British public can learn what life is like as Pat Sharp; the highs, the lows, the hair tips, the endless selfies.
