Irritatingly good. Maddeningly funny. Annoyingly fine.' STEPHEN FRY\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Emotional, entertaining and startlingly honest. I was totally engrossed.' AMY LIPTROT, author of The Outrun.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Really honest and really funny' Lorraine Kelly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFollowing Just Ignore Him, the bestselling memoir of his traumatic childhood, White Male Stand-Up is what happened next to Alan Davies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's the story of how he threw himself into the joyous and idealistic world of stand-up comedy, leading to a television career, but how echoes from the past, and the thought that everyone might prefer it if he disappeared, saw him repeatedly dismantle everything around him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith a cast of well-known comedians, actors, agents and producers, Alan awkwardly navigates his life from the camaraderie of the comedy circuit via life-changing fame as TV's Jonathan Creek, to the unwelcome realisation that most people know him from a bank advert and think he's had a perm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOften very funny and always honest, this very personal memoir is a rich tale of uplifting highs and painful lows, of success and excess, and the dangers of both. How Alan Davies survived it - and very nearly didn't - is the compelling tale of White Male Stand Up.","brand":"Octopus Publishing Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57600313590086,"sku":"9781800962576","price":26.1,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0852\/3081\/3510\/files\/a2fb1293fdb69b195635f7eb0246949b26e33a7af878b854f12e776d4c8421f8.jpg?v=1792032398","url":"https:\/\/www.averdo.com\/en\/products\/white-male-stand-up","provider":"Averdo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
