Graham Linehan’s Book

Right, I'll try to pre order this.

Preordered there, hard back no less. More comedy writing in book form after please Graham. You deserve all the good things.

I'm sure I read on Twitter that he's doing the recording himself! I'll be ordering that as well as my preordered hardback! Love a hardback but hearing Glinner's words in his own voice will be special.

But will that count towards getting put on a bestseller list? Waiting for advice. I know there are some publishing women on MN so waiting for one of them to notice this thread.....

I've pre-ordered. Genuinely excited to read it - i know very little about him really. Still awaiting my Roisin Murphy CD. These talented people defending women and children are costing me a fortune!

Ordered direct from the publisher - not least because they'll get more of the profits than if it's bought from Amazon or Waterstones.

Delurking to say I'm disappointed to find out Matt Berry chucked him under a bus. I've always liked Matt Berry.

O Briain is a militant atheist and seems to have a carefully curated set of values which he bought as a job lot. Some religious people have reservations about giving puberty blockers to children. Pfft! What would these fools know?

But wait.....lots of religious 'folk' in the USA 🇺🇸 approve of puberty blockers. 'God gave us a little girl - not a gay boy. Praise be'

Meh , that goes on Dara's ignore list.

If there's an audible version read by him, that would be great too.

I can't see it as a kindle format just yet, but will be ordering as soon as it becomes available.

They are my publishers! I am so very proud of them.

I've ordered as well. Looking forward to reading it - I expect it will be blistering and hilarious.

Great idea!

Ordered as a present, then I’ll order again for me for my Kindle. Go @glinner

Ohhh so excited for this. Might fill the comedy hole that I've been walking around with since the IT crowd finished. I'm hoping a television series will follow and Father Ted the musical.

Usually buy Kindle but am toying with the idea of having a hardback copy so I can lend it out to people. Only problem is most of my twaw have disowned me after screaming 'wrong body' 'most vulnerable ' at me whilst being seriously unread on the subject.

Oh and cannot wait to say 'Good luck with the book' in increasingly awkward manner for any book signing.

Such a talented man and so rare to see someone who sticks to their principles. I also like the fact that he says it how it is. We are partly in this mess because of nicey nicey 'they go low, we go high attitudes'. Sometimes a bit of bite is needed.

Will have to wait to payday to order. Too long!

Looks like this book is published by eye books (Simon Edge) have just ordered direct from there, free postage!

Lovely news from Glinner. I'm thinking pre-order from Waterstones? Or maybe Amazon? Will wait for advice!

Yes thinking is definitely not happening for a lot of comedians. It's a shame because half of them just do partisan political rants now instead of actual comedy and they're still being billed as comedians. It's like I've bought tickets to sit in the sixth form common room.

I remain hopeful that the tide will turn, we'll see the second coming of Glinner as a scriptwriter, and comedy (maysherestinpeace) will actually be good again in the future.

On the subject of intelligent, science-driven men, I'm rapidly losing respect for Dara O'Briain.

yep! Mr science who’s married to a surgeon ffs - but too much of a coward to say biological sex matters

It’s a good job that Richard Ayoade doesn’t do Travel Man anymore. Imagine all the right on lefty comedians trying to justify working with him while desperately wanting the money the job would pay them!

Whilst waiting for the statue in the public square, a tall green Glinner gnome in the garden would be a superb terfy totem....
I will be getting this book, well done that man @Glinner.

I think Richard A will be very aware of the reaction he will get, but like others have said, he's very intelligent and I get the impression he's not afraid of going against the prevailing trend, and that's actually part of who he is. He seems to be someone who has strong core values, and doesn't suffer fools.

His quote is focused on GL's writing, so he's not aligning himself with any particular views. I admire him for being able to take that benign, neutral stance. This whole issue would have been an awful lot less of a shitshow if the media and celebrities had been capable of this kind of nuanced thought instead of reaching for the pitchforks and leaping like lemmings of the latest performance virtue cliff.

I'm gonna buy the hardback! I don't know whether to pre-order from Amazon or Waterstones or wait to see if the local bookshop gets it in.

As a pp suggested @Glinner what do you advise?

And kudos to the guys who put their names on the cover.

Richard Ayoade is my (not very) secret crush and I am soo pleased he supports GL. Handsome, talented and a man of integrity 😊

I will buy this too.
