Absurd, irreverent and occasionally poignant, this is the illustrated autobiography from one of the UK's most eccentric and endearing comedians. Unsure of what an autobiography is, but sure that he now needs to write one, literary vigilante Joe Wilkinson takes a sledgehammer to the conventional mid-career comedy memoir. Through cartoon stories and second-hand anecdotes, Joe recounts the defining moments that have come to shape and scar him. In this unflinching examination of the self, Joe Wilkinson breathes new life into the genre, leaving readers astounded, amazed, astonished, synonyms , of what was, what is, and what is yet to come in the life of this cultural phenomenon.
