Comedy and Error
by Simon Day
(Simon & Schuster, £8.99)
Simon Day, the tall guy from The Fast Show, tells us about how damaged he was. He grew up in south London. His family broke up. He started to steal. He was homeless for a while. He got involved with drugs. He went to Borstal. He lived on the margins of normality. All of this is compelling. Day has a good story to tell and he's good at telling it. Even the showbiz stuff.
