If you are a man of a certain age, you know there comes a moment in life when a sports category and the over-analysis of your contribution to society seem like a very good idea.
With a good job in marketing and a beautiful house in Manchester that he shared with his wife and children, John Bishop was no different when he turned 40. Instead of spending a fortune on a car that would make him look like a high-end stylist from Vidal Sassoon, he discovered a path that ultimately led him to become one of the country's most beloved comedians. It was a risk, but it paid off.
How did all of this happen? It is the story of a boy who, growing up in a council house and dreaming of upending Kenny Dalglish from the starting line of Liverpool FC, suddenly found himself on stage in front of thousands of people nationally, at an age when he should have known better.
With his unique style, John guides us through his life from leaving the council house and traveling around the world on little money, to marriage, children, and the separate path that led him to a stage to complain to strangers one night – the night that changed his life and set him on his journey to fame.
Amazingly funny and filled with colorful memories and comedic anecdotes, this is a warm, affirming, and ultimately very, very funny biography from one of the country's greatest comedians.
