SIGNED EDITION Author: Alan Davies Individual composers & musicians, specific bands & groups | Autobiography: arts & entertainment | Memoirs Published on 11th September 2025 by Oct opus Publishing Group (Monoray) in the United Kingdom.Hardback | 320 pages 240mm x 156mm | 500g Following Just Ignore Him, the bestselling memoir of his traumatic childhood, White Male Stand-Up is what happened next to Alan Davies. It's the story of how he threw himself into the joyous and idealistic world of stand-up comedy, leading to a television career, but how echoes from the past, and the thought that everyone might prefer it if he disappeared, saw him repeatedly dismantle everything around him. With a cast of well-known comedians, actors, agents and producers, Alan awkwardly navigates his life from the camaraderie of the comedy circuit via life-changing fame as TV's Jonathan Creek, to the unwelcome realisation that most people know him from a bank advert and think he's had a perm. Written thoughtfully and with brutal honesty, it's a story of uplifting highs and painful lows, of success and excess, and the dangers of both. How Alan Davies survived it - and very nearly didn't - is the compelling story of White Male Stand Up. Show more
