The number one bestseller and Sunday Times Humour Book of the Year
by national treasure Bob Mortimer.'The most life-affirming, joyful
read of the year' - Sunday Times 'Winningly heartfelt' - The
Guardian 'A triumph' - Daily Mail Bob Mortimer's life was trundling
along happily until suddenly in 2015 he was diagnosed with a heart
condition that required immediate surgery and forced him to cancel
an upcoming tour. The episode unnerved him, but forced him to
reflect on his life so far. This is the framework for his hilarious
and moving memoir, And Away... Although his childhood in
Middlesbrough was normal on the surface, it was tinged by the loss
of his dad, and his own various misadventures (now infamous from
his appearances on Would I Lie to You?), from burning down the
family home to starting a short-lived punk band called Dog Dirt. As
an adult, he trained as a solicitor and moved to London. Though he
was doing pretty well (the South London Press once crowned him 'The
Cockroach King' after a successful verdict), a chance encounter in
a pub in the 1980s with a young comedian going by the name Vic
Reeves set his life on a different track. And now, six years on,
the heart condition that once threatened his career has instead led
to new success on BBC2's Gone Fishing. Warm, profound, and
irrepressibly funny, And Away... is Bob's full life story (with a
few lies thrown in for good measure.)
