Where Do Comedians Go When They Die? Journeys of a stand-up Book

Fizzing with the one-liners and surreal humour for which Milton Jones is famous this is an authentic hilarious story of the life of a stand-up comedian . A star of everywhere except his own home it's hard for Jerome Stevens to balance the demands of touring with family life. The circuit is a cynical world of extremes where money talks agents slither and audiences throw mince pies. We meet Jerome as he tries to make people laugh for a living. We follow him from the blind terror of a first open spot to facing an audience of trained killers in the Falklands from the trauma of live television to being chased out of Wales by an angry mob of brewery staff. Violent bouncers paranoid celebrities and comedy producers without a sense of humour all compete to milk the cash-cow that is comedy each desperately trying to grab at what they think are the udders of laughter. But throughout it all the hero's biggest critic remains his own seven-year old son. Oh and all this is recounted while being in prison in China.This hilarious account could only be written by somebody who's been there with many of the extraordinary characters in the book being an amalgam of the personalities and characters and oddballs found found on the comedy circuit.Read More
