* THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER - September 2021 * *A SUNDAY TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR * Very funny and very beautiful, packed with jokes and genuinely wise advice - Chris Evans So good. Ive loved every second of reading it - James Corden Riveting - Daily Mail A hilarious book that will be adored by Jimmys fans. Both of them - David Walliams I was really annoyed at how good this book is and thats the biggest compliment I can give - Romesh Ranganathan Its the first life advice book from someone whose life you would actually want - Katherine Ryan Stand-up comedy raised me. It taught me all the skills I need for life, except tax accounting - Jimmy Carr Cheaper than Scientology, quicker than therapy and much less boring than church - this is the hugely funny and insightful book about happiness by top comedian Jimmy Carr, and anyone feeling stuck in a rut should devour it. In his mid-twenties, Jimmy was bored, boring, unfulfilled and underachieving. He wasnt exactly depressed, but he was very sad. Think of a baby owl whose mum has recently died in a windmill accident. He was that sad. This book tells the story of how Jimmy turned it around and got happy, through the redemptive power of dick jokes. Written to take advantage of the brief window between the end of lockdown and Jimmy getting cancelled for saying something unforgivable to Lorraine Kelly, this book is as timely as it is unnecessary. Because you might be interested in Jimmys life but hes damn sure youre a lot more interested in your own, Before & Laughter is about both of you. But mainly him. It tells the story of Jimmys life - the transformation from white-collar corporate drone to fake-toothed donkey-laugh plastic-haired comedy mannequin - while also explaining how to turn your own life around and become the you youve always dreamt of being. At just £20, its cheaper than Scientology, quicker than therapy, and significantly less boring than church. Before & Laughter contains the answers to all the big questions in life, questions like: · Whats the secret to happiness? · Is Jimmy wearing a wig? · What happened with that tax thing? · Whats the meaning of life? · Is Jimmys laugh real? · Can those teeth bite through vibranium? And for readers in the West Country: yes, there are pictures (actually, sorry, there are no pictures, but theres a book about a hungry caterpillar youll love). Because its Jimmy Carr - recently scientifically proved to be the funniest comedian in the UK - there are jokes, jokes and more jokes throughout. If laughter really was the best medicine, the NHS would be handing out this book in Nightingale Hospitals. Fascinating, thoughtful and insightful - are all words that appear in the book.
