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?

A novel about life, love and a pig called Estrakhan Harry Hill's
debut novel is a brilliantly funny adventure through a surreal
world, where pigs might not fly, but they can get their own
newspaper column and reality TV show. When Harry's offered a gig at
a gonk factory in Leeds, he leaps at the chance. It's the perfect
opportunity to get away from his flatmate Prince Edward, and the
twenty pygmies renting space in his sock drawer. Little does Harry
realise that this decision will lead him on a fantastical journey,
into a world where nothing is quite what it seems... Now with new
material - including an alternative ending - Flight From Deathrow
is a hugely entertaining and imaginative shaggy pig story from one
of our finest and best-loved comedians.
