What possible value could there be in revisiting the awkward, unfiltered thoughts of a 14-year-old boy, especially now, in his forties and a successful comedian, actor and father? As it turns out, quite a lot.

In this candid memoir, Jon reconnects with his younger self - a boy growing up in an era when Oasis dominated the charts and Baywatch dominated his imagination. From embarrassing teenage misadventures, including a mortifying PE lesson involving a climbing rope, to small but significant triumphs like earning a pack of Chewits for the 'cleanest tent' at scout camp, Jon revisits the moments that shaped him and, ultimately, set him on the path to comedy
