Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: STRONGThe first ever narrative biography of a towering figure in British comedy Les Dawson, more than any other comedian, spoke for the phlegmatic, pessimistic British way of life. A Northern lad who climbed out of the slums thanks to an uncommonly brilliant mind, he was always the underdog, but his bark was funnier and more incisive than many comics who claimed to bite. Married twice in real life, he had a third wife in his comic world—a fictional ogre built from spare parts left by fleeing Nazis at the end of World War II—and an equally frightening mother-in-law. He was down to earth, yet given to eloquent, absurd flights of fancy. He was endlessly generous with his time, but slow to buy a round of drinks. He was a mass of contradictions. In short, he was human, he was genuine, and that's why audiences loved him. This is his story.

Book excerpt: A MASSIVE COLLECTION OF LAUGHABLE, CHEESY JOKES PERFECT FOR AMUSING DADS WHILE SLIGHTLY EMBARRASSING THE KIDS As groan-inducing as they are hilarious, dad jokes are the punny one-liners and oh-so-clever quips fathers never tire of telling. With this massive collection, no Dad will ever lack new material to make his kids facepalm: • A watermelon and a honeydew wanted to get married right away, but they cantaloupe. • After Humpty Dumpty recovered from his fall, he was just a shell of his former self. • Sign language interpreters have to lean sideways to translate something in italics. • Anyone with a wheat allergy that routinely eats pasta is just a gluten for punishment. • A chord walked into a bar and ordered a drink. The bartender said, “We don’t serve minors.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Beatles landing in New York in February 1964 was the opening shot in a cultural revolution nobody predicted. Suddenly the youth of the richest, most powerful nation on earth was trying to emulate the music, manners and the modes of a rainy island that had recently fallen on hard times. The resulting fusion of American can-do and British fuck-you didn’t just lead to rock and roll’s most resonant music. It ushered in a golden era when a generation of kids born in ration card Britain, who had grown up with their nose pressed against the window of America’s plenty, were invited to wallow in their big neighbour’s largesse. It deals with a time when everything that was being done - from the Beatles playing Shea Stadium to the Rolling Stones at Altamont, from the Who performing their rock opera at the Metropolitan Opera House to David Bowie touching down in the USA for the first time with a couple of gowns in his luggage - was being done for the very first time. Rock and roll would never be quite so exciting again.

Book excerpt: The voice of the great Les Dawson, it has to be. Dawson, the comedian’s comedian, a man with a massive following in his lifetime and now a real cult hero. Who can forget the out-of tune piano playing, the mother in- law jokes, the fast-fire gags and routines that shot from his mouth with apparent ease? Here now, selected and introduced by his widow Tracy, is a treasure-trove of unseen and unpublished Les Dawson material, culled from his notebooks and diaries. Clearly, for Les it was never easy or effortless, and just how hard he worked on, and honed, his material is clear from the boxes of hand-written gags and routines he left behind, each page funnier and more outrageous than the next. Heading after heading, is followed by pages of one-liners: I wouldn’t Say she was a Fast Eater But . . . I wouldn’t Say he was Mean, But . ..I Wouldn’t Say She Was Thin. But . . . And there are the Blankety Blank routines (‘Some quiz shows.come, some quiz shows go . . . thisone is still waiting for a lift.’) as wellas the inventive letters, the radio and.television routines, the silly drawings,and crazy, off-the-wall stories. On top, of all this, there are Les’s often,poignant diaries, including early days when he was a Hoover salesman. A rich and fabulous feast indeed, and one that will be devoured by Les Dawson’s countless fans. Born in Collyhurst, Manchester in 1934, Les Dawson was one of Britain’s finest and best-loved comedians. He toured the clubs and pubs for many years, before he was ‘discovered’ on Hughie Green’s TV show, Opportunity Knocks in 1967, becoming a household name. Les was also a prolific writer with thirteen books to his credit. He married Tracy in 1989, and their daughter Charlotte was born three years later. Les died suddenly of a heart attack at their home in Lytham St Annes in 1993.

Book excerpt: Terry Ravenscroft is back, putting pen to paper once more, and this time he's taking on the major food and drink corporations. No one is safe as Terry targets companies from Kellogg's and Ryvita to Mars, Heinz and Cadbury with his irritating epistles. Terry tackles everything from quality and pricing to taste and advertising campaigns, quizzing companies like Ferrero about why it's impossible to 'feel the nuts' in Nutella spread 'despite going through it with a fine tooth comb'. Combining the author's trademark humour with a sly nod at the megalomania of global corporations, Dear Customer Services is a letters book with a difference, giving everyone who's ever had a reason to dislike the big companies a big laugh at their expense!
