Publisher's summary

Read by David Mitchell and Robert Webb the comedy duo tackle various subject matters in a 'How to Cope with…' guide addressing various scenarios, and everyday situations.

David Mitchell and Robert Webb tackle various subject matters in a 'How to Cope with…' guide talking you through every day scenarios and situations. The subject matters talked about are 'How to Cope with… Being Normal, Pubs, Being dumped Parts 1 and 2, Coffee, Malmaison Hotels, Nudists, The Smoking Ban, Actors, Servants and Getting Older'.
This recording doesn't need to remind us just how great Mitchell and Webb are as a comedy duo and will by no means need to even attempt at getting the listeners attention once the play button is pressed but will simply show us once more everything we know and love about Mitchell and Webb and why their quirky hilarity and foibles work so well together. For example… How to cope with Actors…Try "not be put off by their luvvie-ness" and "do not assume that all actors are all thick…Stephen Fry is an actor and also a world class boffin. David Mitchell's GCSE results are very impressive".

Critic reviews

Praise for David Mitchell and Robert Webb:

‘The new kings of comedy’ Radio Times

‘By far the funniest sketch show in ages … fresh and full of invention’ – The Daily Telegraph

‘Mitchell (the fat one who looks stuck-up and posh) and Webb (the thin one who looks selfish and stroppy) are talented writers and their current television series is genuinely worth staying in for. It’s a reminder (for those who despair at the lame hamfistedness of Little Britain) that British comedians can be both funny and clever’ Sunday Telegraph

Oh I wish this were longer!

These two are brilliant and hilarious and I've been a long-time fan ever since I stumbled upon Peep Show about ten years ago, so I went into this knowing I would enjoy it. Still, I can never get enough of Mitchell and Webb and would have listened to ten more hours of this if I could have.

Dazzlingly Funny!

Another first-rate outting for comedy team Mitchell and Webb! I have yet to be disappointed by the material from this duo. David Mitchell's diatribe on Malmaison hotels had me laughing out loud on the subway. Be sure to try this one, as well as anything else--audio or video--from M&W. You will have an hour's worth of laughs from "How to Cope..." Enjoy!

I wish there were more!

Mitchell and Webb alternate stories in this hour-long book about how to cope with a variety of issues. I would listen to seven more hours of this and hope they write another book like this. I'm currently listening to Mitchell's "Backstory" and recommend it as well!

P.S. You don't have to be a fan of Mitchell or Webb to enjoy this book. It stands on its own two feet.

love Mitchell & Webb

that being said, this is not their best work. has the feel of ac"contactual album." Not recommended unless you are a completist.

Hillarious!

That was a great laugh, especially the chapters on coffee and being dumped. One or two jokes don't translate too well if you're not English (I didn't really get the Mal Maison hotel bit) but overall it's great.
If you liked this check out That Mitchell and Webb sound.

Wish it was a little longer! So funny.

Their observations on life are just too richly good to not have more of them! I knew nothing about these guys, but I enjoy British humor, so gave them a shot. so glad I did.
I want more.

Jokes on jokes

I’m still laughing at Mitchell’s fantasy of porridge being ruined as it’s like licking a warm wall and your taste buds stop working and send your brain white noise messages.
