Description
“This is the story of little me, from pudgy, awkward child to pudgy, slightly less awkward adult—via school musicals, adolescent angst, stand-up, Little Britain, Doctor Who, love, loss, wigs and giant pink onesies. And, in case your attention span is as short as mine, it comes in a handy A to Z format. So B is for Baldy! (yes, people did shout this at me in the playground), G is for Gay (because I'm an actual real life gay) and I is for Idiot (I was born a dork. I probably even stubbed my toe on the way out.) It will warm your heart, make you snort out loud in public and there's even a catchy song in the middle. What I'm saying is, please read this book. It is VERY good. I know I'm biased because I wrote it but it is.”
Advance Praise
“To be truly unique in this world is almost impossible to achieve; this book is about someone who achieved it. Raw, honest, funny and moving.”—James Corden
“A great read . . . it contains a wit and an emotional acuity far above the norm.”—The Times
“Classy [and] elegant.”—Guardian
“Grief isn't the point here. Rather, the book is warmth and joy.”—Sunday Times
“Matt is not only hilarious and kind, he's probably the most generous person I know. All of which is wonderfully evident in this book.”—Rebel Wilson
“Brutally honest and brilliantly funny, this book is as brave and warm as the man who wrote it.”—Graham Norton
“A page-turning story, full of anecdotes and celebrity cameos . . . [Lucas] writes in a fun, chatty style, and reading the book often feels like you're listening to a friend tell a story over a drink.”—Doctor Who Magazine
“I found his tales of his growing up, and his early attempts to break the comedy circuit, fascinating and at times very moving . . . a lively, warmly recommended book.”—Den of Geek!
