Summary

In this electrifying autobiography, Rik stands naked in front of his vast legions of fans and disciples and invites them to take communion with the blood he has spilled for them during his thirty year war on show business.

What They're Saying

Critics Review

‘a ludicrous…very funny - fusion of fact and comic fantasy’ The Times ‘! a dense clootie dumpling of a book.’ Sunday Herald ‘! hilariously irreverent !’ Daily Express ‘It’s a masterpiece in tongue-in-cheek ego-mania, a comic tour de force or - if you are the ghost of Mary Whitehouse - a nasty, smelly, subversive book about an incurable bighead who shouldn’t be on the telly, let alone in print.’ The Journal, Newcastle upon Tyne ‘! should get a few old farts in Tunbridge Wells trying to work out how to send emails ! Mayall’s disciples will love this nook and he might win over several million more followers with it.’ Sport Lads Mag (plus four stars) ‘! full of fun and laughter, just like the man himself. A word of warning: don’t read it in public !the belly-laughs may cause embarrassment.’ Nottingham Evening Post ***** Nuts Magazine

About The Author

Rik Mayall

Rik Mayall is one of Britain’s most prolific and outrageous comedians and has been creating masterpieces for the large and small screen for over twenty years. Although his private and public life may have made the headlines on numerous occasions, Rik has remained relatively allusive…until now…well, sort of. Rik Mayall: A Sort of Autobiography does exactly what it says on the slightly misleading tin, telling us the whole story with a few red herrings thrown in for a tasty measure.
