Product Description

Review

'Hoggart has comic timing [and] a light touch ... It's very nearly an instant history of interesting times. And it's consistently, admirably funny' --The Spectator

Great sketch writing 1 Feb 2012

By TillyBoo

Format:Paperback

This was my first read of Simon Hoggart's sketch writing and I will look out for his pieces in future. This is a book for the loo or the bath as they are short and sweet sketches and not taxing. It was great to review the last 4 years in parliament through this, with lots of 'oh yes, I remember that' moments.

Very enjoyable satirical tales of our much maligned politicians. Book explains why they are not idolised!

Simaon Hoggart's Send Up The Clowns

A very amusing book, delivered very quickly and it will hopefully make a friend happy at X-mas. Simon Hoggart also very kindly sent an inscription for the intended recipient.
