I totally enjoyed Fern Brady's book. Weirdly enough her mother comes out of it an absolute hero, having learned to deal with Fern and her dad.
I'm sure I've seen Daniel Sloss opening for Frankie Boyle. He's very good live, but pings my bigotry bar as I ask myself "is it ok to laugh out loud at a Chelsea fan?"
