About this listen

 This is Jonathan Ross. And nothing is out of bounds when it comes to talking about life as he knows it. From sex and pugs to rock 'n' roll and genital warts, Jonathan holds forth as only he can. This sharply observed, laugh-out-loud, outrageous page-turner will leave you asking just one question . . . Why didn't he write it sooner?©2008 Jonathan Ross; (P)2008 Random House Audiobooks Entertainment & Celebrities Entertainment & Performing Arts Celebrity Funny

Critic reviews

Laugh-out-loud funny.
Hilarious anecdotes aplenty . . . For many of his fans, this will be the first time they get to know the real, likeable, human Jonathan Ross, beneath all the banter and bluster.
Fluent and entertaining . . . this is a very agreeable ramble through the lively thoughts of a non-smoking, now non-drinking family man with a talent to amuse and enthuse.
Taking us through his quirky view on life, including fashion, diets and, er, sweetshops this book is guaranteed to make you laugh out loud.
In between the adolescent porn tales and the hilarious diarrhoea anecdotes, he is funny and acute and full of ideas.
Snap it up, pwonto.
It's impossible to deny he's the most entertaining interviewer.
Irreverent and witty . . . hilarious . . . He explores everything - from diets to sweetshops and sex to pets, with all his customary lasciviousness and self-deprecatory humour.
Splendidly entertaining, reflecting on everything from eating a loaf to Shintoism and...sex.
There are . . . completely honest admissions about his drinking, and laugh-out-loud accounts of his various fashion errors . . . Enjoy gleefully politically incorrect posturing and plain old-fashioned entertainment.

Oh this was very funny to listen to on the train. My sudden guffaws brought some very strange looks from fellow passengers and I wished I could have shared it with them.
Jonathan Ross is terribly funny in this audio book, added by his voice providing all the commentary. Very enjoyable. If your sense of humour laughs at 'Diamond Bus Passes' :) you will laugh out loud on this listen and understand my reference by the time you get to the end of the book.
