About This Item
London: Penguin/Michael Joseph, 2009 9780718154370. Hardback. First edition. First printing. Number 1. Fine/Fine. No inscriptions or annotations. 240 mm. Blue cloth hardcover, gilt titling to spine. Illustrated. Maps. 310 pages. Publisher's blurb: "Nostalgia, identity, eccentricity, gin drinking and occasional violence; these are just some of the themes that stand-up comedian Dara O Briain explores in "Tickling the English". O Briain moved to England many years ago, but when he takes his show on tour around the country - from deserted seaside towns and remote off-shore islands, to sprawling industrial cities and sleepy suburbs - it's clear to him that his adopted home is still a bit of an enigma." .
