A propos de cet article

Hardback. First Edition. Messages to previous owner to inside cover. Honest, tender, rude, name-dropping, bored, star-studded, uncensored, opionated, confessional, embarassing and very, very funny, this book is an intimate autobiographical documentary of Matt Lucas and David Walliams - the most successful comedy dup of the 21st century and firmly ensconed as two our most-loved national icons. it weaves memoir and travelogue together to paint an utterly engrossing fly-on-the-wall portrait of fame and comic genius. Written together with friend and journalist Boyd Hilton, the book intrudes on every minute of the last twelve months of their lives: the godd, the bad, the mundane and the monumental. More intimate and revealing than any traditional celebrity book could ever be, it is an unmissably candid window on life inside the celebrity bubble in all its glamour and awfulness. Illustrated. 406 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.).

Synopsis

Written together with friend and journalist Boyd Hilton, "Inside Little Britain" follows a year in the lives of Matt Lucas and David Walliams - the good, the bad, the mundane and the monumental - a year that includes at its core a mammoth nine-month Spinal Tap-esque tour where Little Britain goes in search of Great Britain. This is a milestone book that offers an unrivalled close-up of a classic British comedy act, as it happens, at the height of its powers. But it is also a journey back into their pasts, reflecting on just how they got from there to here. It covers their childhoods, family life and early comedy performances as they found their feet; their complex friendship and working relationship; and the increasingly insane world they now inhabit. Mixing memoir and travelogue to paint an engrossing portrait of fame and comic genius, "Inside Little Britain" is an unmissable, candid window on life inside the celebrity bubble in all its glamour and awfulness.

À propos de l?auteur

Matt Lucas began his career as a stand-up at the tender age of 18 and went on to find fame as George Dawes on Shooting Stars. He met comedy writing partner David Walliams at the National Youth Theatre, and together they went on to create the cult TV series, Rock Profile, and latterly the phenomenally successful Little Britain.
