Paul Merton
Paul Merton

Surreal humorist's poignant journey from chaos to fame.

If you're drawn to the blend of the wittily surreal and the deeply personal, Paul Merton's "Only When I Laugh" offers just that. Merton's knack for delivering humor even when recounting his darkest moments makes his autobiography more than just a success story. It’s an invitation to peer behind the curtain of a familiar TV face, to connect with the resilience and raw talent that propelled him from a working-class childhood to a household name. Through triumphs and trials, you'll find yourself rooting for him, perhaps finding echoes of universal experiences in his unique narrative.

  • Specsavers National Book Award Nominee for Magic FM Autobiography/Biography of the Year (2014)
