The first autobiography from comedian, writer and TV personality Mark Watson, told through eight mortifying moments, is an honest and hilarious exploration of how the worst times in our lives can bring out the best in us
'Mark Watson is a national treasure' Richard Osman

Whatever I now know about life - or think I know - I found out through failure, disappointment, mortification. I'm writing it all down as much to remind myself as for anyone else - but now you're here, I'd love you to stick around . . .

Mark Watson is generally accepted to be alive. And yet he's died many times. Not just on stage - though he'll tell you about that - but in other ways, too. There's been the death of a childhood dream. The death of his panel-show career. And then there was the time he died inside and nearly lost it all . . .

Eye-opening, revealing and painfully funny, this is a book about mortification, failure and all the times life doesn't work out as planned. But it also wisely questions whether the things we strive for - recognition, success, the approval of others - are really the things that matter. It's a book about death that reminds us how to live.

'Mark Watson makes the base metal of failure into comedy gold' Adam Kay

Mark Watson is one of the UK's most popular comedians, as seen on Taskmaster, Live At The Apollo, Mock the Week, Bear Grylls' Celebrity Island and many more. He has appeared at every major comedy festival in the world, completed numerous sell-out tours and won various awards in the UK and Australia. He is also the author of eight novels, has a long-running Radio 4 series, 'Mark Watson Talks A Bit About Life,' and has performed a series of legendary 24-hour shows. He is one-third of the major YouTube cult hit 'No More Jockeys', and was voted one of Chortle's 'Legends Of Lockdown' in 2022. In theory he lives in London, but he's hardly ever there.
