About this listen

Every now and then, when the planets align in just the right way, a book comes along that changes everything. An author sweats and toils to birth a tome with such colossal cultural impact, it has the power to retune the entire world to a whole new frequency. This is absolutely not one of those books. Not even close. And actually, that all sounds a bit much really, doesn't it?

Rhys Nicholson is a multi-award winning comedian, writer and busy mum with an anxiety disorder, a complicated relationship with food and a book deal. In Dish, a debut whack at writing an entire book, Nicholson is reaching out to get some stuff straight in their head. Through a series of revealing stories, intrusive thoughts and a recipe here and there, they're hoping to ruminate, gossip and generally have a deeply private, wide-ranging conversation with themselves about a whole bunch of life's smaller questions. What do you do if you think you might have an underwear fetish? How long do you roast a chicken for? Does everyone hate you? Why did no one bring up how hard it is to write a book? What's going on with heterosexual men, and are they ok?

If you’re a fan of Rhys’ comedy work you’re going to love this - delivered with his trademark wit but with real vulnerability as well, which will only make you like him even more. The recipes are also such a clever way to add to his wonderful storytelling (but fair warning: the vanilla slice one will have you in stitches…..)

Funny and charming

Absolutely loved hearing Rhys' story in his own words. Also amazing that he Maria Bamford used the 'recipe book' conceit to frame each chapter of their autobiographies even though their books were published almost exactly the same time so they couldn't have known - I guess great minds think alike!! Oh, and I'm still laughing at the unrehearsed funeral speech - "now we were in a workshop". Five stars.

Laugh out loud fun that doesn't pull any punches
