Books: Stand-up Special by Natalie


 The Comedy Store - William Cook


Providing a springboard into the limelight for many stand-up comedians, The Comedy Store remains a popular and influential venue 32 years after first opening in 1979. This book documents the origins of the club in an informative yet highly interesting and humorous manner with annecdotal insights from some of the very individuals that owe their fame to the venue including the legendary Eddie Izzard, Bill Bailey and Hugh Dennis. Pick up this book in store for a mere £4.99.




Billy - Pamela Stephenson


Comedian and winner of  the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2003, Billy Connolly has undoubtedly led a life with a story worth telling. Billy has come a long way from his modest roots working on a Glaswegian shipyard and, through the words of his wife, this book tells the tale of the man who became an internationally successful comedian and star of the hit film the Man Who Sued God. This hugely entertaining biography can be yours for only £2.99.



My Sh*t Life So Far - Frankie Boyle

This best selling autobiography by the ex-star of Mock the Week, Frankie Boyle, is full of the acid-tongued wit and crude observations that make this man so popular. Being a "tremendous liar" by his own admission, this in not a serious book in any regard but this simply adds to the charm making it a thoroughly enjoyable read and reminiscent of his live performances that are loved by many. Have a chuckle for less than the price of a pint at £2.49.
