What a great story, funny and good read - this was published in 2017 - don't know how this bypassed me.
This is the true story of a British comedian Dominic Holland - I was vaguely aware of this comedian as a stand-up - no idea he is an accomplished author as well. This is a story of a family- two sides of a story - one the comedian and his eldest son (for me although is more famous for playing Spiderman was the fact he was Billy in the West End Stage show Billy Elliot and I was mesmerised by his take on "Electricity")
Father on the tough comedy circuit life can be tough - but don't forget he was voted best newcomer in the 90s at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and has gone on to be a well-known comedian - whilst his son Tom lands the role of Spiderman whilst his dad is in small theatres and halls.
Written will such admiration and wit this is an author I will be looking out for, and looking to see if he is in a gig in the south-west.
Recommended read and an author I recommend also- I am now seeking out other books.

I was drawn to this book as I am a big Marvel fan, however what I found was an account of Dominic and Tom's intersecting careers tod in a heartfelt and self-deprecating manner.... Read Full Review
