A fascinating insight into the world, and the insecure mind, of a stand-up comedian
Dennis Leary
A minor masterpiece
The Guardian
He manages to provide a fascinating insight into the world, and the insecure mind, of a stand-up comedian . . . This is a real, honest account of life on the road. And you can't expect more from a tour diary than that
Chortle
I cannot recall a book that so entertainingly lays bare the neediness, self-consciousness and weirdness of the professional comic's life. His one-liners are immaculate, too
Daily Telegraph
It's f**king brilliant. The best book about stand-up I've ever read, hands-down. So, f**king well done, I didn't want it to end. Thank you and f**k you and congratulations. Great great great great
Jimmy Carr
One of the most frank (excuse the pun), funny and best written books ever about being a comedian. Surprisingly brilliant
Dominic Maxwell, The Times
Quite possibly the best book about stand-up ever written
GQ
Skinner is insightful, erudite and, naturally, funny when dissecting the craft of writing and performing successful stand-up comedy
Esquire
