I think people will.īook your tickets to see Jennifer Saunders at Royal Festival Hall and find more of the best new reads with our book reviews. Bonkers: My Life in Laughs, by Jennifer Saunders, Viking £20, 304 pages Jennifer Saunders’ new memoir reads like a series of comedy sketches.

'Prepare to chuckle, whoop and go bonkers,' say the blurb. The tour is also coming to Guildford, Cambridge, Cheltenham and Dublin. For £25 you get two celebs for the price of one - and a free signed copy of the book. But I do especially advise seeing her in conversation with her old mucker Claire Balding at the Royal Festival Hall on 8th October 2013. I dont expect its much of a stretch to recommend the book sight unseen. What we didn't know was that they were so desperate to find any women doing anything that we had the job the minute we turned up.' I wonder if Saunders story will be the same. The way she tells it, it was as if they were just a couple of mates chancing their arm: 'Jennifer and I just went for one audition for the Comic Strip. I interviewed Dawn French a couple of times recently and was fascinated by how she described their meeting and early career. She writes: 'As the steady march of time takes its toll on my memory and the vultures circle, I thought I should have a stab at recollecting how it all happened.' But what most people will be wanting to read about is the aftermath of her life-changing encounter with Dawn French as a young student and beyond. Expect lots of celeb tales: Ruby Wax is here, alongside Goldie Hawn, Joanna Lumley and Lulu. Described as 'funny, touching and disarmingly honest' (I should hope so), it begins with the story of her life from her childhood on a RAF base, where her father was a pilot.
