Publisher's summary

In Toast on Toast - part memoir, part "how to act" manual - Steven Toast draws on his vast and varied experiences, providing the reader with an invaluable insight into his journey from school plays to RADA and from "It's a Right Royal Knockout" to the Colony Club.

Along the way he reveals the secrets of his success. He discloses how to brush up on and expand your technical and vocal skills, how to nail a professional voiceover, and how to deal with difficult work experience staff in a recording studio. He also reveals the dangers of typecasting, describes the often ruthless struggle for 'top billing', and shares many awesome nuggets of advice.

The end result is a book that will inspire and educate anyone who wants to tread the floorboards. It will also inform (and entertain) anybody who simply wants to discover what a jobbing actor's life is actually like.

Ray Bloody Purchase!

Matt Berry is brilliant. Watch Toast of London and see if you don't agree. You will LYAO.

Also, his voice is perfect for narrating, and was the obvious choice. Berry portrays the character to the hilt. Bravo!

Don't miss his music, either. I have feasted on all he has produced on iTunes, and can never get enough.

A treat for thespians everywhere.

Toast delivers a master class in life, love and acting. It's a national disgrace that he is not on the BBC.

Keep in mind, I'm not British.

I'd listen to Matt Berry read the phone book. Some of the references were over my head, I'm sad to say, but it's a delightful book even for an uncouth and under cultured American such as myself.

If you don't love this, then SLING YOUR HOOK

If you love Matt Berry's plummy voice with his distinctive and hilarious pronunciation; if you love Toast of London, The IT Crowd, and Garth Marenghi's Darkplace; and if you love British humor, then you will LOVE Toast on Toast. I have listened to it many times. I even play it when I go to bed. Berry's rich baritone soothes me right to sleep!

A vanguard masterpiece of epic proportions. Toast on Toast is a complete pleasure to experience.

A huge serving of Toast

A huge serving of Steven Toast, from the Channel 4 series Toast of London. Matt Berry is a comic genius and he takes audio books to a whole new meta level of funny, such as his disapproving asides when he reads a passage from his own memoirs that has been rewritten by his ghost writer or his occasional belching. If you love Toast, buy this book.

If you love Toast...

You'll love this book. Read in character by Matt Berry, if you're a fan of the irreverent show, you'll leave a great time listening to this book. Obviously written for British audiences, some of the jokes and references don't necessarily translate. Bb it that won't matter as overall the book is laugh out loud funny. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Hilarious As Expected

Fantastic book all around. The only actor that could have done better is Ray Purchase.

Love Me Some Toast

Matt Berry will fill your ear hole with tales that will leave your sides hurting with laughter. I knew nothing of the Steven Toast universe, and it didn't matter. Pick it up! Now sling your hook and f**k off.
