Maddeningly funny. Annoyingly fine.' STEPHEN FRY Following Just Ignore Him, the bestselling memoir of his traumatic childhood, White Male Stand-Up is what happened next to Alan Davies. It'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\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\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. Written thoughtfully and with brutal honesty, it's a story 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 story of White Male Stand Up. Review: A simply astonishing achievement. The quality, depth, emotional power and terrifying honesty of Alan Davies's story-telling take the breath away - Stephen Fry on Just Ignore Him\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Distribution","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52796240593185,"sku":"9781800962590","price":28.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/9285\/5329\/files\/9781800962583.jpg?v=1780444197","url":"https:\/\/papertree.co.nz\/products\/white-male-stand-up-by-alan-davies","provider":"PaperTree","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
