Rhys James was born in Swindon, Wiltshire in 1991, before moving to Hertfordshire where he grew up. Aged 9, he played the title character in a local production of Oliver Twist. Since then, he has gone on to perform stand-up comedy around the world, including six solo shows at the Edinburgh Fringe and two international sell-out tours. Rhys has appeared on Live At The Apollo, QI, A League Of Their Own and, most notably, as a regular panellist on BBC Two's Mock the Week. He has created three critically acclaimed shows for BBC Radio 4, including the ARIAS nominated Rhysearch. His U&Dave lecture, 'I Stalk Strangers Online', became a viral hit, and his debut DVD Spilt Milk sold out completely in just 90 minutes. There was one copy.
The millennial David Sedaris. This is the closest I've had to stand-up as a reading experience. * Adam Kay, author of THIS IS GOING TO HURT * Relatable tales of adolescent embarrassment, smart takes on modern life, and all the laughs you'd expect from such a talented comedian. * Stephen Merchant * As witty and clever as Rhys's stand up, but you can take it in the bath. * Sara Pascoe * It's a cry for help, but it's a very funny one. * Dara Ó Briain * Hilarious, astute, profound. Make an appointment to read - and for God's sake keep it. * Danny Wallace * Just like his stand up, this book is brilliantly written, funny and makes me love him a lot. How annoying. * Aisling Bea * Nuanced and hilarious takes on the decisions facing all 30-somethings. Goddamn Rhys for making me laugh out loud reading a book - the most annoying thing a person can do. It's mega funny and sneakily wise. * Phil Wang * It turns out Rhys James is not only a brilliant comedian, he's also a fabulously talented writer. I tore through this book in one sitting because it's such a total joy to read - laugh out loud funny and endlessly relatable. * Emily Dean *
