On the Waterstones Best Books of 2025 ListDavies has done it again, damn him. Irritatingly good. Maddeningly funny. Annoyingly fine. STEPHEN FRYEmotional, entertaining and startlingly honest. I was totally engrossed. AMY LIPTROT, author of The Outrun. Really honest and really funny Lorraine KellyFollowing Just Ignore Him, the bestselling memoir of his traumatic childhood, White Male StandUp is what happened next to Alan Davies. Its the story of how he threw himself into the joyous and idealistic world of standup comedy, leading to a television career, but how echoes from the past, and the thought that everyone might prefer it if he disappeared, saw him repeatedly dismantle everything around him. With a cast of wellknown comedians, actors, agents and producers, Alan awkwardly navigates his life from the camaraderie of the comedy circuit via lifechanging fame as TVs Jonathan Creek, to the unwelcome realisation that most people know him from a bank advert and think hes had a perm. Often very funny and always honest, this very personal memoir is a rich tale of uplifting highs and painful lows, of success and excess, and the dangers of both. How Alan Davies survived it and very nearly didnt is the compelling tale of White Male Stand Up. | Alan Davies White Male Stand-Up Hardback Book
