Product Description

David Mitchell and Robert Webb tackle various subject matters in a 'How to Cope with...', a guide talking you through every day scenarios and situations. The subject matters discussed are How to Cope with... Being Normal; Pubs; Being Dumped, Parts 1 and 2; Coffee; Malmaison Hotels; Nudists; The Smoking Ban; Actors; Servants; and Getting Older.

This recording doesn't need to remind us just how great Mitchell and Webb are as a comedy duo, and will by no means need to even attempt at getting the listener's attention once the play button is pressed, but will simply show us once more everything we know and love about Mitchell and Webb and why their quirky hilarity and foibles work so well together.

For example: How to cope with Actors. Try "not be put off by their luvvie-ness" and "do not assume that all actors are all thick...Stephen Fry is an actor and also a world class boffin. David Mitchell's GCSE results are very impressive."

Funny on every page 18 Feb 2010
By Mr. Stuart Bruce TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Mitchell and Webb always make the effort to write new material for whichever medium they're writing for- a lot of their radio show stuff would only work on radio, many of their TV sketches rely on video gags, and there's stuff in this book that will only ever work in print. Where some comedians might use a book as a chance to re-hash their TV scripts, this is all brand-new stuff- and great stuff too. It doesn't read like a cheap Christmas cash-in book hastily written by ghost writers. Seriously it doesn't. Now that you've said that you're going to think I'm being sarcastic when I'm not. That's the problem with print.

Highlights include, but are certainly not limited to, the recurring series "Mundane Quotes Of The Great" and "Great Flat-Share Note Discourses", adverts for the Mitchell and Webb Allen Key and Mitchell And Webb Polythene, and the incredibly astute little section 'designed to cater for fans of The Mighty Boosh who have been bought this book by mistake'.

Great care and at least one joke has gone into every page and if you're a fan of any other Mitchell and Webb material, and if you enjoy reading things, this book is the perfect combination of the two for you.

By Dr. George L. Sik TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Hardcover
Books tied in with television comedy shows can be a bit hit-and-miss. You have to write many more words to fill a book than for a TV script. No problem with this one, though: it succeeds in being both hilarious and rather cleverer than some of the dumbed-down stuff we've had of late (Bo'Selecta, Little Britain...was there ever a Two Pints book? I hope not.)

This book takes no prisoners: Alan Bennett turns into Richard Littlejohn; The Mighty Boosh gets a skewering; there are some superb 'rejected posters' for well-known films. Even the bits from their TV programmes which, due to repetition, have begun to grate a bit (Sir Digby, the snooker commentators) manage to be amusing here.

A fine Christmas pressie for anyone who knows you don't have to be thick to be funny.

Brilliant, like always.
I love the Mitchell and Webb duo! They know exactly what to write, and it keeps the audience entertained for hours. I bought this book for a friend, but I snuck a peek of course. Read more

Comedy moment
I read this book in snippets - when I'm waiting for a taxi, the kettle boiling, a return call etc. It's ideal for picking up and down when you have short bursts of free time and... Read more

Maybe my book wasn't the same as everybody elses...
I'm a fan of Mitchell and Webb in both their own series and in "Peep Show". I'm a fan of both of them individually when they've been on panel shows. Read more

Too long-winded to be funny on occasions
I'm a big Mitchell and Webb fan, especially when it comes to Peep Show, but I feel that they've tried too hard with this book. Read more
