Summary

As a 17-year-old virgin working...for Virgin, Joel Dommett has grand ambitions. Firstly, he is going to swap suburbia for the bright lights of showbiz. Secondly, he is going to find 'the one' - and sets himself the very achievable target of finding her in the first 50 people he's definitely going to sleep with.

What follows is a series of disastrous romantic encounters, including carpets mistaken for toilets, futile grand gestures and the catfishing to end all catfishing.

Featuring genuine teenage diary entries and told in Joel's trademark self-deprecating style, this is the brilliant first book from the UK's most exciting comedian.

heart warming story

lovely story. made me laugh out loud in my car to my own embarrassment. I enjoyed tales of Joel's life and a heart warming link that brought it all together.

Excellent

I love comedy gigs, films, tv shows etc, but I rarely laugh out loud, however this was my first ever audio book and I listened to it in the gym (pre Covid) and I can’t tell you how daft I felt so many times when I found myself laughing out loud! I knew Joelbefore but I truly started following his career, I feel invested in his career! Like watching a child leave home! It’s not like I can relate to his sexual exploits - usually disastrously, being a 58 yr old grandmother, but that didn’t matter, I ha e recommended it to so many people.

Now one of my favourite audible books!

Absolutely loved this book! Lots of laugh out loud moments which I think is essential for this genre! I have listened to nearly 20 comedians on audible and this is definitely up there as one of my favourites!

Can’t recommend more

What’s a great book well read and lots of ups and down. Joel has a way of telling a story and working in lots of others facts.

It was a joy and I was sad when it came towards the end. A sure sign that I loved a book.

Hilarious!

Been a fan of Joel since I came across him in the jungle. Having since seen him on tour, this book is told with his hilarious sense of humour. Would fully recommend
