Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing
Two comedy greats talk life, friendship and the joys of fishing
Athletico Mince
"For the first book inspired by their popular podcast, Bob Mortimer and Andy Dawson considered producing an authoritative guide to the past, present and future world of football. But, as in the podcast, they got a bit side-tracked. As well as bringing you some (more or less) completely genuine football facts, Bob and Andy speculate about the lifestyle of baked bean-loving, yellow snake-owning ex-England boss Steve McClaren, and investigate the 'Gangs of the EPL', where football meets infantile bullying. There's also input from the Secret Soccer Superstar - a former player who lifts the lid on what it's really like to be a top, top pro - and the lyrics from some of Bob's most memorable Scottish songs, so that you can sing them to your children, elderly relatives or, indeed, yourself, should you need to be soothed after learning about Robson Green's Extreme Bangers. In summary, it's a bit of a mess - but - it's a beautiful, glorious, hilarious mess and if you're not reduced to at least one convulsion while reading it, Bob and Andy are going to be very disappointed with you.
My Secret History
'Nothing on the shelf has quite prepared the reader for My Secret History . . . Parent saunters into the book aged fifteen, shouldering a .22 Mossberg rifle as earlier, more innocent American heroes used to tote a fishing pole. In his pocket is a paperback translation of Dante's Inferno . . . He is a creature of naked and unquenchable ego, greedy for sex, money, experience, another life' Jonathan Raban, Observer

The Hotel Avocado

Should he stay in London, wallowing in the safety of his legal job in Peckham and eating pies with his next door neighbour, Grace and her dog Lassoo, or should he move to Brighton, where his girlfriend Emily is about to open The Hotel Avocado? Either way, he’d be letting someone down. But sinister forces are gathering in a cloud of launderette scented-vape smoke, and the arrival of the mysterious Mr Sequence puts Gary in an even worse predicament: soon he might be dead. All Gary wants is a happy life. But he also wants to be alive to enjoy it… THE HILARIOUS AND GRIPPING NEW NOVEL BY NUMBER ONE BESTSELLING AUTHOR BOB MORTIMER

Reeves & Mortimer
Reeves and Mortimer are the comic sensation of the 1990s. This twosome has become a household name with a unique style of turbo-charged comedy which is also a living history of modern humour. On the one hand they seem to have the ability to be tap into the British appreciation of the completely puerile and on the other hand they can create comedy as clever and sophisticated as anythingby the Pythons, Spike Milligan or Jacques Tatti. The book of the Big Night Out sold 250,000 copies, The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer won a Silver Rose at Montrose, Shooting Stars is the most popular TV show on BBC2 pulling in nearly 6 million viewers and they now tour 2000 seat theatres. But like all success it's not been a fairy tale and the pair can be difficult to work with.They are known for using support acts and dropping them if they get good. Their working methods are punctilious and professional sometimes to a fanatical degree.
