Book description
Rob Brydon tells story of his slow ascent to fame and fortune in
Small Man in a Book.
A multi-award-winning actor, writer, comedian and presenter known
for his warmth, humour and inspired impressions, Rob Brydon has
quickly become one of our very favourite entertainers. But there was a
time when it looked like all we'd hear of Rob was his gifted voice.
Growing up in South Wales, Rob had a passion for radio and soon the
Welsh airwaves resounded to his hearty burr. However, these were
followed by years of misadventure and struggle, before, in the TV
series Marion and Geoff and Gavin and Stacey, Rob at
last tickled the nation's funny bone. The rest, as they say, is
history. Or in his case autobiography.
Small Man in a Book is Rob Brydon's funny, heartfelt, honest,
sometimes sad, but mainly funny, memoir of how a young man from Wales
very, very slowly became an overnight success.
Rob Brydon was brought up in Wales, where his career began on radio
and as a voiceover artist. After a brief stint working for the Home
Shopping Network he co-wrote and performed in his breakthrough show,
the darkly funny Human Remains. He has since starred in the
immensely popular Gavin and Stacey, Steve Coogan's partner in
The Trip, and was the host of Would I Lie to You? and
The Rob Brydon Show. He now lives in London with his wife and
five children.
