THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES & NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

'A real gem of a book for comedy fans... honest, irreverent and fascinating' — Matt Lucas

'This book is a love letter to all his comedy heroes, full of warmth, heart and wit' — Georgia Pritchett

In this hilarious, heartfelt memoir, the star of Mr. Show and Breaking Bad spin off Better Call Saul opens up about the highs and lows of showbiz, his cult status as a comedy writer, and what it's like to reinvent himself at age fifty as an action-film ass-kicker.

Featuring humorous tangents, never-before-seen photos, wild characters, and Bob's trademark unflinching drive and humour, Comedy Comedy Comedy Drama is a classic showbiz tale told by a determined idiot.

'I can't think of another entertainer who has improbably morphed so many times and all through real genius and determination' — Conan O'Brien
