Book Description
When Little Britain appeared on British screens, a series of characters was born that would make a nation laugh like no other comedy in years. With its hilarious mocking of British stereotypes, it was not long before catchphrases were born and it didn't take long for the comedy to catch on with fax in the U.S. as well. This biography looks at the two relatively unknown comedians who became entertainment heroes, shooting straight to the top of Britain’s celebrity A-list. Although such success was new to them, Matt and David's creativity led them to write two more astonishingly successful series; earning countless industry accolades, numerous comedy awards, and two BAFTAs. The individuals behind the sketches are explored here, including their first meeting in 1990, their off-screen lives, the truth behind the various rumors around the pair, and Matt's favorite sausage. The paperback is fully up-to-date and includes details on David Walliams’ charity swim across the Channel.

They are Britain's best-loved comedians. This unauthorised biography gives the low-down on the men behind the laughter.When Little Britain appeared on our screens, a series of characters was born that would make a nation laugh like no other British comedy in recent years. With its hilarious mocking of British clichés and stereotypes, it was not long before its catchphrases were being quoted in every home, playground and office across the land. And it was all down to the comedy genius of the inspired duo that is Matt Lucas and David Walliams.All of a sudden, two relatively little-known comedians became the nation's entertainment heroes, shooting straight to the A-list of Britain's most wanted TV celebrities. Although such success was new to them, Matt and David's creativity led them to write two more astonishingly successful series, earning them countless industry accolades, numerous British comedy awards and two Baftas.But behind the sketches lie two fascinating individuals whose work in comedy goes way back - Matt and David met in 1990, drawn together by a mutual love for Reeves and Mortimer - and whose life stories provide a fascinating and hilarious insight into what has inspired them to produce some of the finest laughs in the history of British comedy. In this insightful and brilliantly researched biography, Neil Simpson traces their development from boys to men, revealing much about their off-screen lives along the way, and setting the record straight on the various rumours (many of them true!) that have grown around the pair.Kings of Comedy is a fascinating portrait of two men without whose comic creations Britain would be a lot less funny place to live.

Book Description
The hilarious, heart-warming and tear-jerking memoir from one of Britain's best-loved comedians and actors, Matt Lucas. Hello there. Welcome to my autobiography. Throughout this book I talk about my life and work, including Little Britain, Come Fly With Me, Bridesmaids, Les Miserables, Alice In Wonderland and, of course, Shooting Stars. The thing is, this is a bit different to most memoirs you may have read, because it comes in the form of an A-Z. For instance, B is for Baldy! - which is what people used to shout at me in the playground (not much fun), G is for Gay (because I'm an actual real life gay) and T is for the TARDIS (because I'm a companion in Doctor Who now). You get the sort of thing. Anyway I hope you buy it at least twice. Thank you.

Book Description
Written together with friend and journalist Boyd Hilton, this is a look at a year in the lives of Matt Lucas and David Walliams-the good, the bad, the mundane, and the monumental. The year covered includes a mammoth nine-month Spinal Tap-esque tour where "Little Britain" goes in search of Great Britain. This milestone book offers an unrivaled close-up of a classic British comedy act, as it happens, at the height of its powers. But it is also a journey into their pasts, reflecting on how they achieved their success. It covers their childhoods, family life, and early comedy performances as they found their feet; their complex friendship and working relationship; and the increasingly insane world they now inhabit. Mixing memoir and travelogue to paint an engrossing portrait of fame and comic genius, "Inside Little Britain" is a candid look inside the celebrity bubble in all its glamour and awfulness.

The show has a massive following, and the book contains exclusive material and photographs.Little Britain has become Britain's best-loved sketch comedy since The Fast Show - and won both its nominations at this year's Baftas, taking home the Best Comedy Performance and Best Comedy Series awards. Since the first series was screened, it has gone from cult cool to the kind of quotable success that comedy classics are made of.The characters from Little Britain are already household names: Daffyd is the only gay man in his village (and that's the way he wants to keep it); Jason is the teenage boy with an unhealthy attraction to his best friend's granny; Marjorie Dawes is the terrifying FatFighters group leader; Emily Howard, the rubbish transvestite; Bernard Chumley is the ageing theatre actor with a suspicious need to rid himself of his sister; and, of course, Vicky Pollard is the incomparably incoherent young offender.The show, which has made stars of Matt Lucas and David Walliams, is now into it's third series and is due for transmission on BBC3 later this year, with repeats on BBC1 in the run-up to Christmas.Both stars will help to create the Little Britain script book, writing new exclusive material and plenty of unique additional features. The book will be lavishly produced and fully illustrated throughout, and is sure to be an instant classic.
