Welcome to The Phoenix Remix
There are so many great autobiographies out there. As a person who loves comedy, I find myself reading a lot of stand up comedians books about how they made it into the industry. I enjoy them because some are really funny and others are very emotional. Now when it comes to reading autobiographies it can be very difficult to decide where to start and what you think will be a good read. The first biography I ever read was one about Robbie Williams. Now, I say biography because it was a writer who had interviewed him and followed him around to get inside his mind.
However I prefer autobiographies and since reading my first one I now read a lot. I tend to read mainly comedians ones (and Bear Grylls / Ranulph Fiennes as I am a huge fan) because they are usually light hearted. I don’t want to be reading anything too heavy if it’s for relaxing.
So, here is your first part of our guide to some of the best comedian based autobiographies around (and i say part one as I am constantly reading them and want to be able to tell you about any more great ones! )
