Whereas it had come in the night and left the other boys with chiselled, stubbly chins and deep masculine voices, I’d been left with a huge pair of knockers and the voice of a pensioner.’ Alan Carr\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Alan Carr grew up in one of the most boring towns in England – Northampton. A place known for making shoes. It was also known for its football club, Northampton Town FC. Alan’s dad as manager of the club was a local hero. A dream come true for most lads, but not Alan. Alan wore glasses and had man boobs at 14. He did not like P.E.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In his very first book, Alan tells his life story, (‘oh and what a life’) with his unique twist of natural, observational humour –\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e ‘I’m not saying I’m a fantasist but there have been times when things that I’ve seen on television when I was younger have tended to seep into my subconscious and blended into my own life. I remember telling my Mum about the time I stopped that woman from having a diamond encrusted necklace stolen and she’d say ‘No Alan, that was Poirot.’\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e With his tongue-in-cheek, end of pier humour that made him famous, Alan describes an ordinary life in bursts of technicolour. His journey from awkward schoolboy hiding his man-boobs on the pitch, drinking tea with the dinner ladies and working in a call centre, to becoming one of our best-loved comedians likened to the great Frankie Howerd, make his book a guaranteed tickler with a laugh-out-loud gag on every page.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56442681327989,"sku":"9780007278237","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9780007278237.jpg?v=1765009902","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9780007278237","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
