'A total joy' Laura Kay, author of The Split 'Hilarious and
unexpectedly moving' Richard Roper, author of Something to Live For
'Brilliantly written, properly funny and poignant, and such a great
takedown of the more absurd aspects of life in the 21st century.'
Tom Ellen, author of All About Us 'A delightful and unique take on
travel writing.' Katy Wix, author of Delicacy The setting: Europe.
A continent overrun by tourism, where tapas-crawlers cross paths
with machine-gun-wielding cops, graffiti tour guides collide with
anti-gentrification protestors and, in one classy mountain retreat,
a bored patissier teaches mindful croissant-making to a bereaved
luggage designer. Witness to this outlandish international
spectacle is Mark, comically self-conscious and often thoroughly
disturbed by modern life. In his 30s and working as a copywriter
for an online travel company despite never having personally
ventured further than France, Mark is determined to make up for
lost time by embarking on the kind of freewheeling summer
expedition he's always dreamed of. And even if his revered older
cousin Paris is unable to join him on the trip, he's determined not
to let that hold him back. Mark can always email the mysteriously
absent Paris about the homes and experiences he has along the way,
in intricate and often hilarious detail. Described by The Times as
'one of the finest comic minds of Generation Y', award-winning
comedian Liam Williams brings his inimitable mix of humour and
pathos to his unforgettable debut novel.

Ben doesn't even like Anna that much. She doesn't take life
seriously enough. And then a couple of years go by and he's in
absolute floods and she just wishes things could be different. This
is a play about gender, the ethical dimensions of modern love, and
a mandatory sillier third theme to make the whole thing seem less
serious, in this case lemon tart. Travesty is the debut play by
Liam Williams, double Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee and the 'voice
of a generation' (Independent). It was produced by Fight in the Dog
and premiered at the 2016 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. 'The Fringe's
most articulate and original chronicler of twenty-something angst'
