Another exciting adventure by the hilarious Harry Hill - this time
taking Matt Millz and the team to the Edinburgh Festival!
Matt's dream of becoming a stand-up comic is fading. Six months on from
his success at the Apollo, the gigs have dried up, and it's back to the
daily drudge of schoolwork for Matt and his pals. But then his
twelve-year-old manager Kitty has a brainwave: if they can persuade
their teachers to take a school play up to the Edinburgh Festival, they
could hold a comedy night too.
But Matt's got a rival new school-mate Jamie who is pushing to be in
the comedy line-up. And Jamie is good. But is he too good to be true?
Packed with action, clever twists and great characters, this third Matt
Millz adventure will appeal to every aspiring young comedian.
Matt did it! His performance at the T Factor has given him the fame
he dreamed of. Kitty is getting more gigs booked in with a whole
new stable of comedic acts. Unfortunately, Matt hasn't had time to
come up with new jokes so it isn't long before he is greeted with
the worst heckle for a comedian: 'heard it before!'. But when Kitty
suggests he takes a break to work on his routine, Matt can't stand
to go back to his normal life. So he signs up with the stylish
Excalibur Agency, brushing his concerns (and Kitty) aside. A life
of celebrity awaits! But it doesn't take long for the shine to wear
off and when they try and force him on to his first Live At the
Apollo, without any preparation and no new jokes, how can Matt save
himself from the ultimate humiliation?
The Handbook of Communication Ethics serves as a comprehensive
guide to the study of communication and ethics. It brings together
analyses and applications based on recognized ethical theories as
well as those outside the traditional domain of ethics but which
engage important questions of power, equality, and justice. The
work herein encourages readers to make important connections
between matters of social justice and ethical theory. This volume
makes an unparalleled contribution to the literature of
communication studies, through consolidating knowledge about the

explicit and implicit examinations of communication ethics to one
another. The Handbook takes an international approach, analyzing
diverse cultural contexts and comparative assessments. The chapters
in this volume cover a wide range of theoretical perspectives on
communication and ethics, including feminist, postmodern and
postcolonial; engage with communication contexts such as
interpersonal and small group communication, journalism, new media,
visual communication, public relations, and marketing; and explore
contemporary issues such as democracy, religion, secularism, the
environment, trade, law, and economics. The chapters also consider
the dialectical tensions between theory and practice; academic and
popular discourses; universalism and particularism; the global and
the local; and rationality and emotion. An invaluable resource for
scholars in communication and related disciplines, the Handbook
also serves as a main point of reference in graduate and
upper-division undergraduate courses in communication and ethics.
