Description

'Hard to imagine anyone not loving this... go Simon Amstell!' - Stephen Fry

'A beautiful and clever book about being human. All the warmth of this comedy without the inconvenience of his face'
- Russell Brand

COMEDY, TRAGEDY, THERAPY

Simon Amstell did his first stand-up gig at the age of thirteen. His parents had just divorced and puberty was confusing. Trying to be funny solved everything.

HELP is the hilarious and heartbreaking account of Simon's ongoing compulsion to reveal his entire self on stage. To tell the truth so it can't hurt him any more. Loneliness, anxiety, depression - this book has it all. And more.

From a complicated childhood in Essex to an Ayahuasca-led epiphany in the Amazon rainforest, this story will make you laugh, cry and then feel happier than you've ever been.



The first book from stand-up comedian Simon Amstell

About the Author

He has previously written and starred in the television series Grandma's House, and his past stand-up tours include To Be Free, Numb and Do Nothing.

He also hosted some popular television programmes but he is now too pretentious to list them here.



Reviews
A beautiful and clever book about being human. All the warmth of his comedy without the inconvenience of his face * Russell Brand *
Hard to imagine anyone not loving this... go Simon Amstell! * Stephen Fry *
Disarmingly, almost alarmingly, honest. I laughed out loud 57 times * Martin Freeman *
No one makes loneliness and anxiety as funny as Simon Amstell. Every sentence in this book is simultaneously heartbreaking and hilarious * Hadley Freeman *
Enrapturing. Touching, funny and sweet * Alain de Botton *
Puts the fun in 'insanely honest introspection fun' * Adam Buxton *
A brilliantly funny, sad, clever, silly book. I loved it! * Matt Lucas *
Amstell is a likable, self-deprecating guide to his own flaws, and has spent enough time in therapy to dissect his own navel-gazing with a nicely dry self-awareness -- Stephanie Merritt * Observer *
Hilarious and heart-breaking... Simon's unique take on the world is a reminder of the absurdity of life and the humour that can be found even in its darkest moments. Genuinely life-affirming, moving and profoundly funny * Attitude *
Compulsively, excruciatingly honest... An heroically spiky, self-excavating read about family, fame, sex and self-discovery -- Alice Jones * i *

Absolutely Fantastic

This was my first time ordering from SciFier but it definitely won't be my last. When it comes to buying books online the packaging needs to be good, SciFier were great they used bubble wrap to make sure they arrived perfect. Amazing range of books that majority are lower priced than most book retailers. Wonderful service, I'll definitely be recommending to everyone. Thank you.

My favourite pick for manga

Great delivery to EU, no issues with customs. Very good packaging. A nice selection of manga and, so far, the best prices I could find :)

Great as always

Same old, same old. Amazing experience, great packaging, shipping was faster since it was a bit smaller and check out was smooth as butter. I have now put myself on a buy allowance because I cannot be trusted lol.
