Jon Richardson in Conversation: The Teenage Diaries of a Stand-Up Comedian

Join Jon Richardson along with a special guest as he takes
you through his new book and much more.

What possible
value could there be in revisiting the awkward, unfiltered
thoughts of a 14-year-old boy, especially now, in his forties
and a successful comedian, actor and father?

As it turns out,
quite a lot. In this candid memoir, Jon reconnects with his
younger self – a boy growing up in an era when Oasis
dominated the charts and Baywatch dominated his
imagination.

From embarrassing teenage misadventures,
including a mortifying PE lesson involving a climbing rope, to
small but significant triumphs like earning a pack of Chewits for
the ‘cleanest tent’ at scout camp, Jon revisits the moments that
shaped him and, ultimately, set him on the path to comedy.
