With a cast of well-known comedians, actors, agents and producers, Alan awkwardly navigates his life from the camaraderie of the comedy circuit via life-changing fame as TV's Jonathan Creek, to the unwelcome realisation that most people know him from a bank advert and think he's 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow Alan Davies survived it - and very nearly didn't - is the compelling tale of White Male Stand Up.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003ePaperback\u003cbr\u003ePublication: 4 Jun 2026, Octopus \u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9781800962590\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eExtent: 352 pages  \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David's Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57230394229118,"sku":null,"price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/0892\/5225\/files\/9781800962590_1.jpg?v=1775750826","url":"https:\/\/www.davids-bookshops.co.uk\/products\/white-male-stand-up-by-alan-davies","provider":"David's Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
