Couldn't put it down - Bob has an easy and engaging style, and it evoked a good deal of nostalgia too. His description of childhood and university very much resonated - but 16 sugars in your tea Bob - really? You'll make yourself ill my man... :) Brilliant. A really enjoyable read. Looking forward to the next instalment.

Like me I'm from the North East and Bob Mortimer has been and always will be one of my favourite comedians along side Vic Reeves.....After watching The Big Night Out Tour Show on TV I was totally hooked on these guys, I actually saw a lot mannerisms in Bob Mortimer in me and from that point I couldn't get enough of Vic & Bob, both my idols, and reading about Bob's life from a young age has been an eye opener and so damn funny. Not a trouble maker just wanted to have fun with his mates which like me again being shy (And Still Am) I find it hard to mix with people so I avoid parties, breakfasts with my boss and the work boys, I just can't mingle so it's a breath of fresh air to read about a great guy who in simple life terms suffered too, but if you are a Bob Mortimer fan I most definitely can recommend this book, I read a chapter each day so I can get the most out of the book, it has to be one of my favourite autobiographies I've read and I've read a few. It's worth getting and reading the fire work act he did which almost burnt his house down a dangerous act but like Bob looking back on it I better he chuckles over it.....a brilliant guy, a brilliant entertainer, and this is what we need on TV......oh and Catterick that was truly brilliant which he adds in his book Highly Recommend Most Definitely Read full review

What a brilliant book to read. Easy to get list within it. Every time I look round my husband has his nose in this book. I’m sure he has read it through at least half a dozen times. The book itself was exact as described in excellent condition.

Enjoyed this book as I'm a big fan of goofyness and blokes having a "daft laugh". So am also a fan of Bob Mortimer. Also, reading about the rise of a working class lad resonates.
