Re-run the Fun: My Life as Pat Sharp

Autor Pat Sharp, Darren Richman, Luke Catterson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 oct 2021
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
'The perfect antidote to 2020' Huffington Post

'A must-read if you like funny things' Greg James

'I had no idea Pat Sharp's life story would be so hilarious and I strongly suspect neither did he' Nish Kumar


Pat Sharp is a man out of time.

For those of a certain generation, he is an iconic figure synonymous with good fun, great hair and excess gunge. For others, he's just that bloke with a mullet.

Fame is a fickle beast and, since the cancellation of Fun House in 1999 ('Just ten years into its run, when it was finally finding its feet'), Pat has become a reclusive figure, only emerging from his splendid isolation to pop up on things like I'm A Celebrity: Get Me Out Of Here, Never Mind the Buzzcocks and Come Dine with Me.

Until now.

With time on his hands and now reliant on a faulty memory, Pat has expertly blended fact and . . . fiction: revealing all about his adventures with David Hassselhoff at the Berlin Wall in 1989; how he broke up a fight between Damon Albarn and Liam Gallagher at a house party; the time he suggested Geri's dress be a Union Jack; and much more.

A definitive work (based on very little fact) that anatomises the cultural trends of the '80s and '90s, Re-run the Fun is just the kind of sorta-biography we need in these turbulent times. Finally, the Great British public can learn what life is like just about in sight of the top - the highs, the lows and the hair tips.

'It's easy to forget, as I had, that Pat Sharp is so much more than an iconic haircut and a helter-skelter - and this well overdue book goes into hilarious, largely-fabricated detail about Pat's critical role in shaping our world today' Rick Edwards

'No previous knowledge of Pat Sharp is required' Paul Sinha

Recenzii

Fabulous book . . . wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone . . . genuinely laugh out loud . . . twice as good as Partridge . . . perfect book for Christmas
The perfect antidote to 2020
A funny relief from the dumpster fire that is 2020
Hilarious, racy and largely untrue . . . one of the funniest books I've read in a long time. Not just amusing but packed with gags
A loving account of the life and times of an enigma wrapped inside a mullet. This is a must-read if you like funny things
I had no idea Pat Sharp's life story would be so hilarious and I strongly suspect neither did he
It's easy to forget, as I had, that Pat Sharp is so much more than an iconic haircut and a helter skelter - and this well overdue book goes into hilarious, largely-fabricated detail about Pat's critical role in shaping our world today
This is precision humour. It's very funny and no previous knowledge of Pat Sharp is required
A very funny book
Comic genius
Brilliant. An extraordinary, almost true autobiography
Hilarious, light-hearted, joyous and uplifting. A shiny jewel in what's been a murky year
Funny, mad, brilliant. I laughed a lot
A brutal, searing and vital dissemination of our times. Sharp has written a brave, eloquent tome that provides a way forward for future generations
My sister Jess and I dreamt of being on Fun House as kids so this book was the next best thing and it didn't disappoint. I'm still laughing now!
Anything Pat Sharp related is always fun. This book is relative to that fun. Read it and get some of that fun! Cos it's fun!
There are some books that will be around forever. Perfect examples of literary genius. But this book is just about Pat Sharp
