Delightful.

Matt gives an enchanting peek inside his wild ride of a life. I didn't know exactly who he was when I began, I had only seen the Q2 Les Miz on PBS. I wondered why would he write a memoir? I am glad that I took a chance on it. It is full of interesting antidotes from a life in comedy, the theatre and many notes from just living. It is very enjoyable and I highly recommend it.

Food

Thank you Matt Lucas for sharing.
Food was my favourite part and I havent laughed that deep belly laugh that gives the stomach muscles a slight ache for a long time. 3 ways to eat a maltezer - we all knew it and you are the only one ever to have described it with such remarkable incision.
Great book.

Quite Good, from an American

Heartwarming and endearing. A fascinating look into what it took to become a household name in British comedy, and all the anxieties that come with. I fear I've fallen for this man Matt Lucas. My potential suitors will need to up their game to match.

Great premise for an autobiography

First, I love Matt Lucas. I find him to be incredibly talented with great depth. I liked the premise of ordering the autobiography alphabetically. It bounces around chronologically, but the stories he tells are interesting in and of themselves. He also gives enough information to allow the jumps to be followed.

Entertaining, Fun and Humorous

Using the alphabet to describe details of his life, Matt Lucas provides a glimpse into the various events which informed his acting and comedy. His conversational and brisk delivery kept me engaged.

wonderful audio book

A really great book that only gets better in audio form. I really loved it.

Sadly Dissapointing

I love Matt Lucas and still do but just did not get this book. There was one really funny and entertaining chapter on his relationship with food but that was really it for humor. I'm fine with a good biography and the lack of comedy in itself was understandable in some ways, but overall the book was a narrative timeline of his career. This happened and then that happened. We met this person then that person and so on and so on all the way to the end.

Meh

Well, I am a huge fan of Little Britain but this memoir left me.....wanting. Not as entertaining as I would expect - a lot of it was just downright mundane. I don’t know if my expectations were too high, but I could have passed. Seems as if it didn’t come out of a full life but rather a deal with Audible solely for the purpose of making cash. While I can respect that, it doesn’t make for a compelling listen.

If you are a huge fan AND have nothing else to spend your credit on then maybe, but come to think of it if I hadn’t listened to this there would still be some mystery for me and I would have continued to idolized him. Now I no longer do.

I think John Cleese did a better job on his memoir - beautifully written and entertaining. Sorry Matt :(
