Riassunto:

For the first time, comedian Jack Dee reveals the highs and lows of his early life and disastrous day jobs. You don't just wake up jaundiced and bitter; it's taken Jack years of dedication and commitment to brew his unique cocktail of disillusionment and bile.
What turned this once optimistic young man into a grumpy middle-aged git? Was it working in an artificial-leg factory? Or delivering incontinence pads for the NHS? Or was it the time when he was shunned by his peers for daring to thrash a one-armed man at tennis?
In this hilariously frank account of his life, Jack finally answers the question, 'So how did you get started in comedy then?' Along the way, he shares his blatantly unreasonable views on everything from personal trainers to boutique hotels, via the overrated moon landing and 'people who hold their cutlery the wrong way'.

Informazioni sugli autori: Jack Dee is a stand-up comedian who has been performing one-man shows and making television programmes for over twenty years. Recently he co-wrote and starred in the hit sitcom Lead Balloon for BBC 2.

He lives in London with his wife, Jane, four children and two standard smooth-haried black and tan Dachshunds...Oh look, it's all in the book. This bit really is pointless. If you've no idea who I am then don't buy a book about me. Put it down and ask the shop assistant to find you something nice to read instead. Go on. Get lost.

Jack Dee is a winner of three British Comedy Awards and was nominated for the Best Entertainment Performer Bafta in 2005. He has released 5 best-selling stand-up DVDs.
