It’s time to get serious with Britain’s favourite funny man – Camp David, by David Walliams.
David Walliams has been the camp aide to the Prime Minister, the rubbish transvestite and the long-suffering wheelchair pusher for an able-bodied man. He was launched to fame with the record-breaking Little Britain, and for a while you couldn’t enter a playground without hearing “eh eh eh eh” or “computer says no”.
But David Walliams is more than a comedian. He’s a fascinating and complex person with a sharp intellect, a sensitive disposition and a refreshing honesty. Often described as ‘a bundle of contradictions’, he has disarmed people by being camp and a ladykiller, a hedonist and a sportsman, aloof and warm. Like many of our comedic geniuses – Frankie Howerd, John Cleese, Kenneth Williams – he has grappled with depression and remains an enigma.
His autobiography Camp David is a roller-coaster ride of emotions. It will surprise and entertain, and allow fans and newcomers the privilege of entering David Walliams’ uniquely brilliant mind.
