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.

A reminiscent masterpiece
Being a fellow Salfordian, it was so good listening to this story and imagining myself in all the places Jason talked about.
I could help but have fallen in love with Jason a little through this book. He’s such a humble, hardworking and honest guy you just can’t help but love him!
Even if you aren’t from Salford or the other parts of Greater Manchester he talks about, it’s still such a real treat for anyone to listen to. There’s happy times and sad times but there are also some real corkers of funny moments where I’ve found myself laughing out loud randomly - notably when lifting weights in the gym! Not the best of times to do so!
Thank you for sharing your story, Jason!

Do the next chapter Jason!
he comes across as a lovely guy. Like the family a lot! It really is mainly about his up bringing and actually I resisted buying for a while as it is quite old! (2010) I think! so it ends rather abruptly and I want to hear the next bit. I want to hear about his rise in comedy and his adult life- not that this wasnt of interest but im sure the next one will be fascinating!
Having read Michael Mcintyres and John Bishops there will be some common names Im sure! so come on get your ar*e in gear Jase!

Real laugh out loud stuff
As a huge fan of comedy but a little wary of autobiographies this was a bit of an experiment for me. However, it had me laughing out loud and kept me up at night as I just couldn't turn it off. Love the fact that Jason Manford reads it and brings it alive. Highly recommended.
