Anyone who has taken the time to see my stand-up performances or watched my chat show  Chattyman  knows that my body has hardly been kind to mein fact thereve been times when weve actually stopped talking to each other. Balding  myopic  often flaky with psoriasis  back fat that hangs suspended like a cape  a voice that could strip varnish  an increasingly dodgy hip and even dodgier teeth. Why would you draw attention to it? you must ask. Couldnt you just call the book something else? Do you think the Great British Public is ready to pore over your body? Well  as I turn 40 and take stock of my showbiz life over the last 10 years or so  I have learnt to embrace my flaws and face my shortcomings. In fact  strange as it might seem  the things I hate about myself have become my trademark and I am slowly  begrudgingly learning to  if not love them  to at least live with them. I am ready now to take a long hard look at myself and thats what Alanatomy is. Its the story of my rise to fame: the joys  the traumas  the parties  the disappointments. Hopefully you will find it witty  fun  heartwarming  but more importantly honest  and that it will keep you entertained every time you pick it up. Alanatomy is the chance for you to get beneath my skin and see the real me because  and to continue the anatomical theme if I may  this showbiz existence can sometimes feel like an autopsypicked at  probed and scrutinized with every inch of your body held up for analysis  but unlike an actual autopsy  you are very much alive. So I give you Alanatomy: The Inside Story. I am laying myself out on the slab for your entertainment; naked  stripped bare. Grab your scalpel  peel back the skin and go deep  have a good old probe around at my life so far. Yes  you are going to find guts  a fair bit of cheek  maybe even a little bit of gristle  but hopefully  youll find a whole lot of heart.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67950670807093,"sku":"ByrdShop_0718180755","price":43.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780718180751.jpg?v=1794424253","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/alanatomy-the-inside-story-9780718180751","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
