And Away...
English
By (author): Bob Mortimer
The number one bestseller and Sunday Times Humour Book of the Year by national treasure Bob Mortimer.
Although his childhood in Middlesbrough was normal on the surface, it was tinged by the loss of his dad, and his own various misadventures (now infamous from his appearances on Would I Lie to You?), from burning down the family home to starting a short-lived punk band called Dog Dirt. As an adult, he trained as a solicitor and moved to London. Though he was doing pretty well (the South London Press once crowned him The Cockroach King after a successful verdict), a chance encounter in a pub in the 1980s with a young comedian going by the name Vic Reeves set his life on a different track. And now, six years on, the heart condition that once threatened his career has instead led to new success on BBC2s Gone Fishing.
Warm, profound, and irrepressibly funny, And Away is Bobs full life story (with a few lies thrown in for good measure.)
