About this listen

In 2004 Dom Joly wrote a spoof autobiography called Look At Me, Look At Me. In Here Comes the Clown, he takes up the story of his life from 14 January 2000, when the very first episode of Trigger Happy TV aired on Channel 4 and everything changed for him. Suddenly he was famous; reality was weirder than any fiction he could conjure up.

This is the story of what happened next, through snippets of recollections from his adventures in show business....

Dom Joly is a British television comedian and journalist. He is the star of Trigger Happy TV, a hidden camera show that was sold to over 70 countries worldwide as well as World Shut Your Mouth for BBC1 and Dom Joly's Happy Hour, a spoof travel show for Sky One.

HELLO! It's NOT rubbish!

I've read a number of celebrity autobiographies where they often brush over how they made it, and skip past some of the key moments that perhaps they just took for granted or have long since forgotten. In this book, Dom Joly offers a frank insight into his showbiz journey, the weird moments, the good luck, the bad luck, the great ideas, and the times it all went wrong. He's pretty frank about the times he screwed up and made poor choices, and through it all presents the story with good humor and intelligent writing. Hearing his words in his voice, also added to the experience.

I thought it was great, with some amusing moments, and if you've enjoyed any of his work over the years, this book lifts the curtain and shows some of what was going on behind the scenes.

Very Funny

A very honest and humble description of Dom Joly’s are we through snow business. Superbly narrated complete with many laugh out loud moments. Hijacking Michael Winners Wikipedia page and ripping the door of Robert Smiths limousine we’re particular highlights. Well worth the credit !
