Following 'Just Ignore Him', the 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 joyo us 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.
