Críticas

Heard the one about the comedian who wrote a really impressive children's book? I'm not sure I had - but that has all changed now, thanks to Harry Hill. Hill seems to know instinctively what makes kids crack up ... this has been written with love and care - crafted for children rather than his ego. Applause. (The Times (Children's Book of the Week))

A genuinely funny take on comedy and talent shows, written with great heart. (Bookseller)

A funny and brilliant book by a comic genius. (Matt Lucas)

Strangely and funnily enough, probably the definitive book about being a stand-up comedian. (Jack Dee)

Matt Mills is a 12 year old stand up comic who's really funny . I wanted to hate the little upstart, but he's rather charming. Grrrr! I like this book because it's funny, fascinating ... and I'm in it. (Jo Brand)

This book defies gravity in its wonder. A magnetic toilet read. (Vic Reeves)

Compared to the works of Shakespeare it is much more convenient - I thoroughly recommend it! (Jools Holland)

The utterly ridiculous plot and caricatured cast make it inevitable that you will end this book with a smile on your face. Feel-good fiction at its best. (BookTrust)

Harry Hill has managed to create a story that is brilliantly humorous, but at the same time manages to be packed with heart and emotion. (TES)

This book made me laugh out loud with the almighty power of comedy. (Bo, age 10 TES)
