The achingly funny, always entertaining and often heart-breaking memoir from the creator and star of award-winning BBC comedy This Country

When things were really bad, Mum would always say to me-

'Don't worry, it will be a good read for your memoir one day.'

I suppose that's a weird way of coping, isn't it? Trying to turn the bleakest situation into a positive.

Life hasn't always been straightforward for Daisy May Cooper- growing up in rural poverty in Gloucestershire with her brother Chaz, she had to work a myriad of low-paid, unrewarding jobs just to make ends meet. Don't Laugh, It'll Only Encourage Her is the endearingly honest and hilarious memoir from the creator and star of award-winning BBC comedy This Country.

Reviews for Don't Laugh, It'll Only Encourage Her: The No 1 Sunday Times Bestseller

Brilliant. A joy and a delight - I laughed out loud! An absolute cracker -- Zoe Ball Hilarious, brutally honest and very entertaining. Bloody brilliant, like the woman herself * Heat * She writes very well on the humiliations of poverty, without losing her sense of humour . . . It's a riot from start to finish * Sunday Express * Cooper is casual and caustic as she looks at the bright side and the darker underbelly of showbiz * The Times * This book proves it's absurd for anybody to think they know more about being funny than Daisy May Cooper. A riot from start to finish * Daily Mirror * Hilarious. A riot from start to finish * Daily Express * Perfect for anyone who loved This Country or wants to learn about how Cooper got her break in comedy * Funny Women * Memoirs are often described as 'honest' but it's rare that someone would write as honestly as Cooper * Funny Women * The funniest book of the year * Sunday Express * Hilarious * Sun * Hilarious * Daily Star * Hilarous * YOU Magazine * Thank goodness for the gloriously silly Daisy May Cooper. Joyful, irreverent and totally uplifting * The Times * The lockdown comedy queen * The Guardian *
