Before & Laughter will tell the story of Carr’s life while also explaining how readers can turn their own life around and become what they have always dreamt of being.
“In his mid-twenties, Jimmy was bored, boring, unfulfilled and underachieving. He wasn’t exactly depressed, but he was very sad. Think of a baby owl whose mum has recently died in a windmill accident. He was that sad. This book tells the story of how Jimmy turned it around and got happy, through the redemptive power of dick jokes.
“Written to take advantage of the brief window between the end of lockdown and Jimmy getting cancelled for saying something unforgivable to Lorraine Kelly, this book is as timely as it is unnecessary. Because you might be interested in Jimmy’s life but he’s damn sure you’re a lot more interested in your own, Before & Laughter is about both of you. But mainly him. It tells the story of Jimmy’s life – the transformation from white-collar corporate drone to fake-toothed donkey-laugh plastic-haired comedy mannequin – while also explaining how to turn your own life around and become the you you’ve always dreamt of being. At just £20, it’s cheaper than Scientology, quicker than therapy, and significantly less boring than church.”
Carr commented: “I don’t want to overpromise and underdeliver, but this really delivers on the subtitle ‘A Life Changing Book’. It’s definitely the best cash-in autobiography by any popular British comedian born between 1972 and 1974 ever. That’s if you don’t count the Peter Kay one. Because that was proper good.”
The book is set to be released on 30th September and it is available to pre-order now. If you pre-order with Waterstones you can grab yourself a signed copy.
