On 27th June 2023, comedian and writer Abi Roberts was arrested outside the UK Covid Inquiry. She spent 17 hours in a police cell. Her crime: swearing when told not to. This is just one moment (well, 17 hours) in Abi’s vivid life. From tales of flattening grass in Swansea, and being baptized in Russia, to the world of stand-up comedy and fighting global medical tyranny. Music is Abi’s first love, and like an album, this exhilarating compilation of memoirs is divided into 12 'tracks’ rather than the standard ‘chapters’. It includes a Spotify playlist of songs that act as a soundtrack to the book.

Possibly the best memoir ever! Read by the author taking you back through the decades of her life, you’ll laugh out loud, be in awe of her courage, and feel the pain of losing the love of her life. A truly relatable book written and read with passion and humour, it will leave you wanting more.

An uplifting and honest memoir.

I laughed I cried… I identified. Thoroughly enjoyable book!! Well written with wit and honesty. And what a treat to listen to The Selfish Giant too… I’d forgotten what a beautiful story it is.

Brilliant Abi…
