De biografie van Joop van den Ende, voor het eerst openhartig verteld door hemzelf en vele anderen en geschreven door Henk van Gelder. Over hoe hij opgroeide in Amsterdam-Oost, met een poppenkast op straat stond, in kindervoorstellingen de rol van Batman speelde, deerlijk mislukte als deelnemer aan een cabaretconcours, een feestartikelenwinkeltje runde, met De Fabeltjeskrant op tournee ging en de André van Duin Revue opzette, waarna De Soundmixshow, Wedden dat en Dagboek van een herdershond zijn eerste tv-successen waren. Over zijn mislukte tv-zender, zijn hoog oplopende conflicten met RTL4, zijn grootste Broadway-flop, zijn miljoenenverliezen en miljoenenwinsten, zijn afkeer van Big Brother en het fortuin dat hij er desondanks aan overhield, waarom hij géén Karel Appel-museum bouwde maar wel het gloednieuwe DeLaMar, en hoe hij kon uitgroeien tot Europa s grootste musicalmagnaat. Een kleurrijk boek over een meer dan kleurrijke man die de Nederlandse theater- en tv-geschiedenis voorgoed veranderde.
