Story
Why is every film or tv programme a sequel or a remake? Why are people so f***ing hung up about swearing? Why do the asterisks in that sentence make it okay? Why do so many people want to stop other people doing things, and how can they be stopped from stopping them? These and many other questions trouble David Mitchell. Join him on a tour of the absurdities of modern life - from Ryanair to Richard III, Downton Abbey to phone etiquette, UKIP to hot dogs made of cats.

Story
Where do comedians come from? Why is it that one person is a funny bloke down the pub while another actually makes a living by standing up in front of an audience telling jokes? And where does all that material come from? Well, young Lee McKillop used to wonder that too. Growing up in his parents’ pub, small and wiry in a world of bigger and chunkier specimens, Lee quickly learned that cracking jokes was a way to get attention.

Story
Welcome to the inside-out world of Mitchell and Webb, a strange and surreal place populated by misfits, eccentrics, talking animals and a few stray Radio 4 arts programme presenters. Included here are all five series of their fantastically skewed comedy show, packed with offbeat sketches and peculiar characters. Meet seedy snooker commentators Ted and Peter; poorly matched crime-fighting duo Angel Summoner and BMX Bandit; a cop who doesn't get results but, by God, he does things by the book; and some nervous Nazis who've just noticed their caps have skulls on them.

Story
This is a self help-book like no other. Because you are not helping yourself, James Acaster is helping you. When James quit all forms of social media in 2019 he felt like he'd been born anew, but he was worried he'd suffer withdrawal and get lured back online to compete in a never ending popularity contest with only one possible winner (f--king Zuckerberg). He knew that in order to stay clean he'd have to replace everything social media used to give him with three-dimensional real-life activities.

Publisher's Summary
If I'm going to tell the story of a life, my life, then I need to tell it warts and all. If the tale is too saccharine sweet then what can the reader take away from it? What do they learn about you? I've written everything down. The shit, the death, fun, naughtiness, addiction, laughter, laughter, laughter, some tears and lots of love and happiness. That ,to me, is a better reflection of a human's life.
Nick's family life was difficult, blighted by alcoholism, illness and sudden misfortune, meaning they lost everything overnight. He left school early and drifted from job to job, dogged by his own personal demons. It's something of a miracle that Nick survived and even more that he would achieve such success with his writing, acting and comedy.
In Truths, Half Truths and Little White Lies, Nick paints a brilliantly funny, moving and brutally candid portrait of childhood, adolescence and eventual success.

Funny, genuine guy nick frost. 👍
loved this book from start to finish.
the way nick tells his stories really made me laugh, the slang is hilarious.
although troubled by a lot of down times he always bounces back.
if your not offended by bad language and like random funny stories about life experiences, this book is for you.

a well written, emotional journey, of one of my favourite people
We all have that famous person, who we know we would be mates with, if our paths ever crossed. Nick Frost is that person for me. I am compared to Mr Frost, in my stature, my language, and my behaviour, by many close friends. Listening to Nick reading his memoir, has cemented that feeling of kindred spirit’s. all the best to you Nick Frost, and thanks for your memories. cheers Matt Molloy x

No holds barred memoir from a man finding his way.
What made the experience of listening to Truths, Half Truths and Little White Lies the most enjoyable?
I have been a fan of Nick Frost since Shaun of the Dead, where I first experienced his knack for comedy and saw the real life friendship with Simon Pegg. There was no doubt in my mind that they were friends in real life and I wondered how these two blokes met. Well this book answers that question and so much more. Nick tells his warts and all story with more truths than half truths with an open honesty which will leave me thinking about his story for some time to come. I have never met the man but this book makes me feel I have.
What did you like best about this story?
Nick has some dark days described in this book but the good shines through when he is talking about his best mate Simon Pegg and you can really feel that brotherly connection that the two obviously share. The Pie Gate story cracked me up when he is impersonating Simon's voice and reaction, it was something straight out of Spaced. His Edgar was hilarious too.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I churned through the book in a couple of days, not wishing it would end.
Any additional comments?
I can only hope that Nick definitely follows this up with another memoir as he had stated he will. I love the fact he wrote it for his son (fingers crossed for more Frosts as well) and did the narration himself. This is a keeper.

Worth listening to!
An amazing book that delves into the struggles Nick Frost went through in his life and is a tale of perseverance and friendship. The book is made all the better by Nick Frost reading it and at points you can hear the emotion in his voice, definetly worth a listen, whether or not you are fan.

Please listen to this, it is soo good!
I’m prob on my fourth listen of it, i grew up in a similar area at a similar time and it was great to head another account of life at that time bottled.
He is a great narrator, one of my top five celebrity read bios (Brian Blessed is the top , naturally)
Do yourself a favour and spend a credit on this

self indulgent pap
used to like him in his movies, now I know what a narcissistic misogynist he is I don’t know whether I’ll be able to take him seriously when he next plays a loveable oaf. He seems obsessed with making sure we know pretty girls will sleep with him
