Irritatingly  good. Maddeningly funny. Annoyingly fine.' STEPHEN FRY'Emotional, entertaining and startlingly honest.  I was totally engrossed.' AMY LIPTROT, author of The Outrun.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollowing Just Ignore Him, the bestselling memoir of his traumatic childhood, White Male Stand-Up is what happened next to Alan Davies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Far From The Madding Crowd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47185632919811,"sku":"9781800962576","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0404\/3207\/4914\/files\/9781800962576.jpg?v=1757512941","url":"https:\/\/www.maddingcrowdlinlithgow.live\/products\/9781800962576","provider":"Far From The Madding Crowd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
