`this is a fascinating insight into the men behind one of the
world?s greatest comic double acts?

Written together with friend and journalist Boyd Hilton, "Inside Little Britain" follows a year in the lives of Matt Lucas and David Walliams - the good, the bad, the mundane and the monumental. A year that includes at its core a mammoth nine-month Spinal Tap-esque tour where Little Britain goes in search of Great Britain. This is a milestone book that offers an unrivalled close-up of a classic British comedy act, as it happens, at the height of its powers. But it is also a journey back into their pasts, reflecting on just how they got from there to here. 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 an unmissable, candid window on life inside the celebrity bubble in all its glamour and awfulness.

By turns intimate, eye-opening and hilarious, Inside Little Britain is the ultimate autobiographical documentary of two of our most-cherished national icons

Written together with friend and journalist Boyd Hilton, the audiobook follows a year in the lives of Matt Lucas and David Walliams in every unfiltered detail ? the good, the bad, the mundane and the meaningful. It is a year that includes writing, rehearsing, filming, Live8, going to America, and undertaking a mammoth 100-date, seven-month tour where Little Britain goes in search of Great Britain. They visit the places that have inspired their best-loved characters and also formed each of them personally ? from where they grew up to university and drama school. Reflecting on how they got from there to here, they look back a journey from cult comedy success to rock-star levels of celebrity; a new world where magazines are constantly fighting for access to them and the tabloids obsess about every detail of their private lives.

It will cover their childhoods, family life and early comedy performances as they found their feet; their complex friendship and working relationship; and the increasingly insane celebrity bubble they live in, where the likes of Robbie Williams and Elton John are desperate to work with them.
An essential audiobook for all fans of two of our country's funniest, most consistently inventive comedians.

Matt Lucas began his career as a stand-up at the tender age of 18 and went on to find fame as George Dawes on Shooting Stars. He met comedy writing partner David Walliams at the National Youth Theatre, and together they went on to create the cult TV series Rock Profile, and latterly the phenomenally successful Little Britain.

2007-08-13 Really Good Book

This book is a must for every Little Britain Fan and gives a good behind the scenes view and contains a lot of private infos about Matt and David.
I dont agree with the opinion that its just about Davids girls and stuff.
I think its made more clear in this book how easy you get linked to a woman just for talking to her on a party. It also shows how David and Matt try to keep their lives private and still make the headlines without having even talked to the press.
I enjoyed reading it and can recommend it to everyone interested in the real characters. Couldnt find any gossip in it.
