From the front cover flap: Hello and welcome to my life. Oh, and what a life! From the grimness of doing data entry for Mr Dog to the dizzy heights of `The Friday Night Project' and performing for Her Majesty at the Royal Variety Performance. My life's been like a long flume, up and down with a couple of damp patches in the middle. Take my hand, I want to lead you through my life. Within these pages you will come face to face with my parents, my dog Minstrel, my friends and a whole load of waifs and strays that have helped to make my journey that little bit more memorable. When you read Look Who It Is! I'm sure you'll agree - it's just been one thing after another. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to all. It follows Alan's life up until he accepts the offer to host The Friday Night Project with Justin Lee Colins. It is easy to read, interesting and engaging. He was very honest and I feel I know him now, and would like to meet him. It was very enlightening, I had thought Alan had been on the comedy scene for longer than he has. In fact, it was around 2005 he began to get famous. Alan does not just talk about comedy though. He speaks of his family, including his famous, football manager Dad, Graham Carr and all his life experiences to date, which include university, travelling around the world and horrid temp jobs such as working in a call centre. There were several things in this book I could relate too, which made it even more enjoyable. The book was not as funny as I was expecting it to be, however it did have me laughing and chuckling in places so I don't feel particularly let down. This is a great book; an honest story where Alan says it like it is, and doesn't go for the sympathy vote. It is a bit cheeky that he has left the door open for a sequel in a few years, but hey, good for him. An enjoyable book. 9/10

All hail Alan Carr..	Customer Rating:
This book is amazing, it's one of the funniest books I have ever read. It took me quite a long time to read this book.. not because it was boring, because it was so funny I had to put it down after every couple of pages to recompose myself. I challenge anyone to read this book without laughing outloud! Alan we love you!

A must - read

Customer Rating:

I first saw Alan Carr on "8 Out Of 10 Cats" and he instantly made an impression on me. I think the reason people have taken him to heart is he doesnt take himself or anything seriously with is brand of self mockery and honesty accounts of a so far interesting life. Lots of other people and written how you can't help but laugh out loud and its true i had to put the book down for abour five minutes purely because i couldnt go on as i was laughing too much. Highlights include him dressing in a giant pig costume and nearly killing the family dog, wearing his moms knee high boots to get an ice cream and an account of Shirley Bassey and a stage handler behind the scenes of the Royal Variety Performance. If you love Alan Carr or are just looking for an uplifting and touching book buy this - you wont be dissapointed.

Honesty is the word

As soon as l saw this book l wanted it, l was not going to browse past past. So l bought it, and it arrived the next day. I dropped what l was reading (which is unusual for me), and got started. It comes through from an early age Alan is very happy with himself, it's others around him, who don't see it the same way. Don't think this is a constant laugh out loud book, there are some very funny incidents, but Alan talks very VERY frankly about being Alan Carr. How he appeared 1st time on stage, and vowed never to return. Alan doesn't moan at life he gets on with it. He makes it very clear that money was so very tight, and even I thought that appearing at the Edinburgh Festival you made money from it, and he lost. He isn't ashamed of the jobs he did, and "The Phantom" at one job. He talks of his highs and lows of being on stage. But he doesn't hit the big time straight away. The book isn't full of antidote's its about his life, and how easy it was to eventually go on stage. I can understand how sensitive he is about audiences, especially the christian one!!! Alan comes over a very humble person, he is not one boast about all the people whom he has met, he is overwhelmed when Robbie Williams comes to talk to him, same with Charlotte Church. If you didn't know Alan Carr at the start of this book, you will hopefully love him at the end. The book ends as of where he is now, it leaves no strings dangling. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
