Look Who It Is! - My Story by Alan Carr

The brilliantly funny Sunday Times top ten bestseller.Alan Carr tells his life story in his own words, from growing up in a football-mad family in Northampton to his rise as one of Britainās best-loved comedians.āPuberty had been unkind. Whereas it had come in the night and left the other boys with chiselled, stubbly chins and deep masculine voices, Iād been left with a huge pair of knockers and the voice of a pensioner.ā Alan CarrAlan Carr grew up in one of the most boring towns in England ā Northampton. A place known for making shoes. It was also known for its football club, Northampton Town FC. Alanās dad as manager of the club was a local hero. A dream come true for most lads, but not Alan. Alan wore glasses and had man boobs at 14. He did not like P.E.In his very first book, Alan tells his life story, (āoh and what a lifeā) with his unique twist of natural, observational humour āāIām not saying Iām a fantasist but there have been times when things that Iāve seen on television when I was younger have tended to seep into my subconscious and blended into my own life. I remember telling my Mum about the time I stopped that woman from having a diamond encrusted necklace stolen and sheād say āNo Alan, that was Poirot.āWith his tongue-in-cheek, end of pier humour that made him famous, Alan describes an ordinary life in bursts of technicolour. His journey from awkward schoolboy hiding his man-boobs on the pitch, drinking tea with the dinner ladies and working in a call centre, to becoming one of our best-loved comedians likened to the great Frankie Howerd, make his book a guaranteed tickler with a laugh-out-loud gag on every page.
