'Davies has done it again, damn him. irritatingly good. Maddeningly funny. Annoyingly fine.' Stephen Fry
Alan Davies is a comedian, writer and actor, best known for starring in the hit BBC series _Jonathan Creek_ and for his regular appearances as a panellist on _QI_.
Alan joins us for the new installment in his memoir: following _Just Ignore Him,_ the bestselling memoir of his traumatic childhood, _White Male Stand-Up_ is what happened next to Alan Davies...
This is the story of how Alan threw himself into the joyous and idealistic world of stand-up comedy, leading to a television career, but how echoes from the past, and the thought that everyone might prefer it if he disappeared, saw him repeatedly dismantle everything around him.
With a cast of well-known comedians, actors, agents and producers, Alan awkwardly navigates his life from the camaraderie of the comedy circuit via life-changing fame as TV's _Jonathan Creek,_ to the unwelcome realisation that most people know him from a bank advert and think he's had a perm.
Written thoughtfully and with brutal honesty, it's a story of uplifting highs and painful lows, of success and excess, and the dangers of both. How Alan Davies survived it - and very nearly didn't - is the compelling story of _White Male Stand Up._
