Summary
Jason Manford is firmly established as one of the country's favourite stand-ups and is up there with the best northern comedy legends. His career began one night in a pub in Chorlton when a comedian didn't arrive for his set and Jason, the 17-year-old glass collector stepped in to fill the gap. From that point on he's never looked back, until now that is....
This is the story in his own words of everything that lead up to that fateful moment – a colourful tale of growing up with lots of family and not enough money, of getting by and sticking together. It is a story of his shameless extended clan of wayward uncles and singing nans and a gobby little knobhead at the heart of it all called Jason. Featuring rock-hard great granddads, doting grandparents, pub-crooning nanas, football-mad dads, pet-obsessed mums, more dodgy uncles than you can shake a stick at, failed exams, dead-end jobs, paper rounds, prostitutes, shocked priests, manslaughter, winning goals, sudden losses, replica shirts, chip-fat incidents, scary pubs, pet meat, fighting Gandhis, cancelled Christmases, Sir Oswald Mosley, flooded tents, call centres, circumcision, puppy love, friends for life, difficult girlfriends, gigs from hell, heart break and, finally, true love....
With his laugh-out-loud tales of coming of age, Jason shows he's a generous storyteller and as natural an observer as he is on stage.

Honest, sad and hilarious.
Really enjoyed this book, even tho he’s a City supporter. Lol. Manu fc forever Red.
Honest, sad and extremely funny look at Jason’s life from the beginning, to 2010. Didn’t realise what heartbreak he had suffered in younger years. Explained and read in an honest and sometimes hysterical way. Can’t wait for next chapter in an accomplished and multi talented man. Good luck Jason and I hope you have started writing 2010-2020 edition in your next chapter of life.

Proper laugh out loud moments
This book is like a 5 hour standup set. It will propel make you laugh. I listened while driving. Might not be advisable, as I'm sure I looked like a nutter laughing to myself.

Childhood and dating memories
This book was easy to read ( or have read to you on the audio book) as it touched on childhood and dating experiences we can all relate to. An easy listen with plenty of chuckles and belly laughs.

I laughed out loud and openly cried at various times - not great when out walking the dogs !

loved it
I'm quite new to audio books, for no reason other than my eyes used to work.
I think Jason reading it made it more personable, and hence more enjoyable.
only one question, and I'm sure he must have told me, did you marry kat?
we went from asking her out at last to being in bed with the wife.
proper enjoyable
