Alanatomy: The Inside Story

Product Information

The book is really well written and I found it surprisingly inspiring – which is why I would recommend it to anyone, not just Alan Carr fans – you might not appreciate the humour, but I think you’ll find some inspiration – it’s not exactly a rags to riches story, but even if you get knocked down – you gotta get back up. Nicola Methven, TV Alan in split from husband after 13yrs, Daily Mirror, London, 22 January 2022, page 9.

That might sound about as appealing as a Frazzle dipped in Tizer, but when he raids the bag of clothes that Ange has donated to charity, young Alan makes it clear that sometimes, clashing patterns just work. The autobiography is not a laugh a minute, though it does contain a good smattering of amusing chat-show-type anecdotes.

Update: Since BCG published this story, ITV have revealed on Lorraine that the part of the young Alan Carr will be played by relative newcomer Oliver Savell.I am looking forward to reading his next book and may re watch his dvds, I just love listening to him, guy is hilar! Less self-possessed children may have crumbled when faced with such disapproval, but what makes this series so lovely is that Alan is absolutely certain of who he is, and he refuses to be “normal” for anyone, whatever that means.

He gives it a good go with football, not to please his dad, but to win back the friendship of Charlie. then his follow-up, Alanatomy, will take you further into the hilarious and bizarre world of the country's favourite chatty man. While Carr doesn’t mind flailing himself, he stiffens when I ask if he fears people trawling his oeuvre. Alan Carr is making an autobiographical sitcom for ITV, British Comedy Guide can exclusively reveal. A great read (if you share Alan's sense of humour) but it's not a complete story or in any way serious - just good fun.As showcased in many of Alan’s stand-up shows, his experience as a gay teenager in the East Midlands is a veritable treasure trove with a rich comedic seam, whether it’s his sexual awakenings, his daily battle with bullies or navigating the highs and lows of Fourth division football. recorded in front of a sold out crowd of 13,000 fans at the Manchester Evening News Arena as part of his 33 date UK and Ireland arena tour, Spexy Beast Live sees Alan back on stage and follows on from where his debut best-selling release Tooth Fairy left off. Certainly Carr's childhood and upbringing weren't particularly exceptional, nor his time at university and gap year travel. He makes no pretense at his dislike of taking on a carer role but he did do it and there is no indication he regretted doing so.

There were rumours Dame Shirley had demanded more sequins for her dress, so they had sent it back to India to have more sewn on and it was in the process of being flown back first class to Heathrow just in time for the show. I found it funny and entertaining, I appreciate he told a lot about his not-very-good years and finally the last page was really moving and sweet. Alan Carr set to host Picture Slam - a brand new Saturday quiz show coming to BBC One and BBC iPlayer in 2023". Carr has moved from Sussex, where he and Drayton shared a farm, and is “falling in love with London again”.
