The Sunday Times top 10 bestseller. Laugh along with Michael
McIntyre as he lifts the curtain on his life in his revealing
autobiography. Michael's first book ended with his big break at the
2006 Royal Variety Performance. Waking up the next morning in the
tiny rented flat he shared with his wife Kitty and their
one-year-old son, he was beyond excited about the new glamorous
world of show business. Unfortunately, he was also clueless . . .
In A Funny Life, Michael honestly and hilariously shares the highs
and the lows of his rise to the top and desperate attempts to stay
there. It's all here, from his disastrous panel show appearances to
his hit TV shows, from mistakenly thinking he'd be a good chat show
host and talent judge, to finding fame and fortune beyond his
wildest dreams and becoming the biggest-selling comedian in the
world. Along the way he opens his man drawer, narrowly avoids
disaster when his trousers fall down in front of three policemen
and learns the hard way why he should always listen to his wife.
Michael has had a silly life, a stressful life, sometimes a moving
and touching life, but always A Funny Life.

D-Lister Top_Gorilla17 comes the first volume of his tales of scum,
villainy, and perhaps if you buy him enough slippery nipples, a bit
of ribaldry! Behold this whimsical and disturbing peek into the
psyche of the self-described Emperor of Iowa, and his many
adventures, most of which really happened! Bear literary witness to
the time he farted on a duly elected government official! Chortle
with rapturous glee as he recounts the time he broke all ten of the
commandments of the Hebrew God! Shift your weight uncomfortably as
you find out, quite against your will, precisely what he means by
the phrase 'Hot dogging'! So don't be caught in that airplane
lavatory reading yet another Dan Patterson novel, you weenie!
Instead, read the critically-ignored 'Top Gorilla's Tales Of Scum
And Villainy,' which Top_Gorilla's girlfriend was heard describing
as "Pretty good, I guess."
Like Twain -- or more contemporary humorists Dave Barry and Garrison Keillor -- Patrick McManus shares the belief that life's eternal verities exist primarily to be overturned. In McManus's world, all steaks should be chicken-fried, strong coffee is drunk by the light of a campfire, and fishing trips consist of men acting like boys and boys behaving like the small animals we've always assumed they were. In this, the tenth hilarious collection of his adventures, wry observations, and curmudgeonly calls for bigger and bigger fish stories, McManus takes on everything from an Idaho crime wave to his friend Dolph's atomic-powered huckleberry picker to the uncertain joys of standing waist-deep in icy water, watching the fish go by.
