Everything I know about life, laughter and disability
AS Heard on Radio 4'S 'ability'
'A truly eye-opening book from a fantastic comedian.' — Adam Kay
'Comedy genius... The funniest book I've read in years.' — David Walliams
Lee Ridley won the hearts and minds of the nation on Britain's Got Talent. Now the much-loved comedian opens up about what it's like to be him.
I'm Only In It for the Parking is a wonderful romp through Lee's extraordinary life, by way of the people who like to pray for him, the comparisons with Stephen Hawking, some perilous falls, some epic fails and more information about Lee's private life than you probably need.
This is the wickedly funny story of the stand-up who struggles to stand up, but who learns to finds his feet. The Geordie without the accent. The entertainer who really can't speak at all, but who has something important to say.
What readers are saying:
'Such a brilliant and honest book.'
'The funniest book I've read this year.'
'Written with poignancy and humour.'
'Had me laughing out loud all the way from start to finish.'
