Mack the Life

Corgi, 2013. Standard. Paperback. Good. Outline:- His book is a joy to read, full of homespun wisdom and hilarious asides Independent ____________________ Where do comedians come from? Why is it that one person is a funny bloke down the pub while another actually makes a living by standing up in front of an audience telling jokes? And where does all that material come from? Well, young Lee McKillop used to wonder that too. ___________________ Growing up in his parents pub, small and wiry in a world of bigger and chunkier specimens, Lee quickly learned that cracking jokes was a way to get attention. After a somewhat random series of jobs, which included being Red Rums stableboy and a bingo hall barman, it was as a Great Yarmouth holiday camp entertainer that he had his first crack at telling jokes on stage. It got him some laughs, the sack and a punch in the face.* Now, as Lee Mack, hes one of our best loved and most successful comedians, both as a live stand-up and on television. In Mack the Life, Lee tells the story of how he got there and gives extraordinary insight into what really makes comics tick. Hilarious and brilliant, its the kind of book which reminds you why you learned to read in the first place. *Nearly.-> the publisher of this PAPERBACK book is Corgi The date of this copy is 2013 booksalvation have grade it as Good and it will be shipped from our UK warehouse This book is from the Series.
