I really wanted to like this book, it sounded like it might be interesting psychology theories on why humans act the way they do but with humour but I was left disappointed. I’ve not come across this comedian before now and he’s obviously a very funny and clever man but this book simply try’s so hard to be clever that it loses the funny.
The blurb made me think it would be a sort of life story picked to bits with psychology but it was more like a ‘are comedians wired differently’ which was kind of strange.
I had to really concentrate to read what I was hoping would be lighthearted and interesting and as the et al. references increased my concentration depleted. I’m sure lots of people would really enjoy this book but I guess it just wasn’t for me.
