Matt Millz - Softcover

Heard the one about the comedian who wrote a really impressive children's book? I'm not sure I had - but that has all changed now, thanks to Harry Hill. Hill seems to know instinctively what makes kids crack up ... this has been written with love and care - crafted for children rather than his ego. Applause. (The Times (Children's Book of the Week))

A genuinely funny take on comedy and talent shows, written with great heart. (Bookseller)

A funny and brilliant book by a comic genius. (Matt Lucas)

Strangely and funnily enough, probably the definitive book about being a stand-up comedian. (Jack Dee)

Matt Mills is a 12 year old stand up comic who's really funny . I wanted to hate the little upstart, but he's rather charming. Grrrr! I like this book because it's funny, fascinating ... and I'm in it. (Jo Brand)

This book defies gravity in its wonder. A magnetic toilet read. (Vic Reeves)

Compared to the works of Shakespeare it is much more convenient - I thoroughly recommend it! (Jools Holland)

The utterly ridiculous plot and caricatured cast make it inevitable that you will end this book with a smile on your face. Feel-good fiction at its best. (BookTrust)

Harry Hill has managed to create a story that is brilliantly humorous, but at the same time manages to be packed with heart and emotion. (TES)

This book made me laugh out loud with the almighty power of comedy. (Bo, age 10 TES)

Open with your best gag. Finish with your second best. Make sure your face matches the material. Sell your routine . . . Matt Millz LOVES stand up comedy. He's studied the best. He's memorized all the advice. He spends hours writing new gags and thinking up crazy sketches . . . So when the school run a talent contest, of course he's going to enter. What he doesn't count on is: Last minute total meltdown His best mate pulling out zero seconds before going on Teeny tiny Kitty Hope and her own bonkers ambitions His stepdad's own 'funny' ideas And headmaster, Meredith Pavey, who very definitely has it in for him. Comedy gold from a comedy genius.
