Danny Wallace had been staying in. Far too much. Having been dumped by his girlfriend, he really wasn't doing the young, free and single thing very well. Instead he was avoiding people. Texting them instead of calling them. Calling them instead of meeting them. That is until one fateful date when a mystery man on a late-night bus told him to 'say yes more'. These three simple words changed Danny's life forever. Yes Man is the story of what happened when Danny decided to say YES to everything.

David Mitchell and Robert Webb offer you no less than the magic and wonder of the theatre. Yes, the roar of the greasepaint and the smell of the crowd has been captured in this however-many-times-you-think-about-buying-it-in-a-lifetime entertainment opportunity. A whole host (i.e., more than nine) of comic characters, from incompetent space heroes to alcoholic snooker commentators, from aspirant cricketers to deluded vagrants, are brought to life on the magnificence of the stage.

Author’s NoteLaughter is one of the most misunderstood gifts we carry. We often treat it as weightless —something spontaneous, harmless, and free of consequence. We assume it arrives without responsibility. Yet laughter is powerful. It can bridge strangers, soften grief, dissolve tension, and remind us —sometimes urgently —that we are still alive. But it can also wound quietly. It can expose vulnerability without consent. It can cross lines we only recognize once we are standing on the other side of them. This book was born in that tension. Prank Everyone Except the Dead is not a manual.
