Description

A BBC Arts & The Reading Agency's Big Sporting Read selection

'Warm, sad and funny... There is something very eccentric and British about A Fan for All Seasons' - Sunday Times

A hilarious, heartfelt, nostalgia-infused story of sport, loss and the journey of a lifetime.

After the sudden death of his older brother, Dan, Jon Harvey turned to the thing that had provided their strongest connection: sport, in all its myriad sublime and ridiculous forms. He made it his mission to visit as many events as he possibly could in a single year – to build the ultimate season ticket.

A kaleidoscopic twelve months took him from London Olympia to ancient Olympia, from rugby balls to Rubik's Cubes, Wimbledon tennis to Wimbledon greyhounds, from tennis legend Roger Federer to darts hero Martin 'Wolfie' Adams, and much, much more. It's a celebration, of sport, life, and an unbreakable bond between two brothers.
About Jon Harvey
Jon Harvey is a comedy writer, producer and performer. He has produced and written for many of the biggest satirical TV shows of the last thirty years, including The Thick Of It, Have I Got News For You, Time Trumpet with Armando Iannucci, Yes Minister and Last Week Tonight With John Oliver. His Radio 4 shows with Rob Newman have won two BBC Audio Drama Awards, and his online comedy videos have amassed over 70 million hits. In 2019 the New Yorker garlanded him for creating one of the 'Jokes of the Year' with his Succession parody starring Boris Johnson. He is also the human alter-ego of Count Binface, the alien political candidate who in 2021 became officially voters' ninth choice to be Mayor of London, beating Piers Corbyn and UKIP.
