bitch.' Kathy Burke

genuinely inspirational self-help book and this is their lovable
mongrel offspring.' Frank Skinner

laugh and stain something.' Sandi Toksvig

funny, painfully honest and deliciously filthy.' Phillip

the water.' Jo Brand

most of all laugh-out-loud funny.' Alan Carr

to laugh at our flaws, to value ourselves, and also to fight back

The one-liners come thick and fast in comedian Sarah Millican's
memoir HOW TO BE CHAMPION, and when bad things happen - bullying or
divorce - the jokes become funnier and more real. You'll be
laughing a lot, crying a bit and cheering for her, too
*GOOD HOUSEKEEPING*
One of our favourite stand-ups looks at her own life to show that
life doesn't have to be perfect and you don't have to be amazing
all the time. Packed with laugh-out-loud stories and advice, this
will delight her many fans
*WOMAN & HOME*
I do not recommend you read this book in public, unless you like
snorting and crying with laughter in front of strangers. This is a
book in which the writer's warmth shines through and the advice
really is responsible and helpful. Do read it, you will learn
something; even if it is just how to bake a cake

Written with the sort of warmth and sincerity that hallmarks her
stand-up. Her book is, in short, champion

Funny, feisty and just a little bit filthy, the fast-talking

combination of memoir and self-help book, will make you laugh out
loud
*BEST*
Down-to-earth superstar Millican tells her own story here of how
she turned to stand-up after the break-up of her first marriage and
conquered the male-dominated comedy world. Honest, touching and,
like Millican's stand-up shows, endearingly smutty
