A cracking biography of an amazing comedian. To anybody who knows Dave Allen's work' this book will bring many warm moments of recognition. Mr Allen is a sophisticated raconteur, rather than a gag man. He keeps his private life just that, private and so, beyond factual items, such as the date of his birth, marriage, divorce, etc. there is little of the man but much of what makes him tick.
The book is a pure joy and certainly extended my knowledge of Dave Allen's career and also the roots of his obsessions. ( )
