Look Who It Is!: My Story

Product Information

His contention was that fear of "giving up" is what causes the majority of smokers to continue smoking, thereby necessitating the smoker's perpetuation of the illusion of genuine enjoyment as a moral justification of the inherent absurdity of smoking in the face of overwhelming medical and scientific evidence of its dangers. Instead, he encourages smokers to think of the act of quitting, not as giving up, but as "escaping". The series will star Shaun Dooley as Graham Carr and Nancy Sullivan as Alan Carr's mother Christine. Alanatomy is the second autobiography from British comedian and chat show legend Alan Carr! This book focuses on his ‘celebrity years’ whereas his first book Look Who It Is focuses on his childhood and rise to fame.

Now I'm 33 and while I think my life has been utterly engaging and facinating, I imagine to everyone else it's only been mildly or moderately interesting. I wouldn't write a book of my life, so why do 'celebs' feel the need to put pen to paper every 5 minutes? When I saw this, I rolled my eyes, then thought of his stand up and radio show (which I enjoy) and thought "at the very least it's got to fill 30 mins better than bloody Heat magazine"... ironically the front of the book had a quote from Heat "easily the funniest book of the year" which totally put me off wanting to buy it. But what the hell, it was part of a "buy one get one half price" offer. He has written two autobiographies, Look Who It Is! and Alanatomy, and even they are in the distinctive voice he describes as like “a seagull fighting for a chip” but I receive as trilling reverberations of Kenneth Williams in his scratchy Carry On heyday. As a comedian, Carr’s DNA is 60% Williams, with dollops of a softer camp reminiscent of Frankie Howerd, Julian Clary, Larry Grayson and Dale Winton. He is well-known for hosting The Friday Night Project with Justin Lee. He also hosted a radio show called Going Out with Alan Carr, on BBC Radio 2. He became a judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK.

Again and again he talked about dead-end jobs and about how shit jobs in offices, shops and factories are. I understand that not everyone wants to work in places like that but some people do, and not all jobs in those environments are dead-end jobs. I know a lot of people who have worked in a supermarket their whole working lives and are still loving it. I know people who have climbed from a Business Admin apprentice to a manager for two departments in the office. Talking down jobs like that is so hurtful, it totally demeans all the people who love those jobs.

I was on the bus, on the way to work, when I couldn't help but laugh myself silly over a situation being described. It was a crowded bus and no one seemed keen to sit next to me, so win win!
