Look Who it Is!: My Story - Alan Carr

Alan Carr is not someone who I was very familiar with until recently. He came to my attention when I watch by chance his Celebrity Ding Dong show. I can honestly say that I don't think I had laughed so much at a single show in a very long time. After I told my hubby about him he though he would treat me to his new book when he spotted it in the shops. The book is a hard back edition white has a picture of Alan smiling and a white back ground. The dust cover of the book has a picture of a small body of a weight lifting man and lots of funny things behind it. The face of Alan which we see is actually the one on the cover of the book as there is a cut out hole ...  Read the complete review

This review is for the hardback version of 'Look Who It Is! My Story:' by Alan Carr Alan Carr has long been on my radar as a great comic presenter and comedian. As one half of the presenting dynamo for 'The Friday/Sunday Night Project', Alan has long been using making me laugh with camp humour, innuendo and cutting sarcasm. With expectations high I delved into his autobiography.... His TV persona always seems deeply rooted in reality despite his fame and this comes across straight away when we are told how he can't quite believe what his life is like at the moment now he's in the public eye. I've heard this from many a 'celebrity' before but ...  Read the complete review

I have always enjoyed Alan Carr on the television. His quick wit and catty comments have always amused me. The Friday Night Project is one of my favourite shows and I loved the cheesiness of Celebrity Ding Dong. The version of this book I have is the hardback one, I don't think the paperback version is out yet. The cover of the book is Alan standing behind a seaside strongman character board and I think this is linked to his love of Blackpool where he spent some of his childhood. The book is well written but is kept in the style of Alan Carr so you truly believe what is being said as it sounds so "Alan". Alan's father was a ...  Read the complete review

It's been a relatively short space of time since Alan Carr first became prominent on our TV screens on Channel 4's The Friday Night Project, which he first hosted on the 6th January 2006 with co host Justin Lee Collins. The series itself had enjoyed an eight week run the previous year hosted by Jimmy Carr (no relation to Alan just a spooky coincidence) but for the second series Channel 4 wanted new presenters and amongst those chosen was Alan Carr. I suppose if you was Alan Carr then at this point you could quite smugly say "and the rest is history..." "Look Who it is!" published at the latter end of 2008, just in time for a Christmas ...  Read the complete review
