I Laughed, I Cried: One Woman, 100 Days, The Mother of All Challenges

Everyone wishes their life had turned out a certain way. What if you can still make it happen?

Viv is fed up, recession-scarred and pushing forty. She always wanted to be a stand-up comedian. But surely that''s not advisable if you have a mortgage, three children and a husband is, er, not exactly a fan of stand-up comedy?

With no time to waste, Viv attempts the mother of all performance marathons: 100 gigs in 100 nights. She laughs. Sometimes at her own jokes. Occasionally the audience laughs too. Often they don''t. And she cries. Tears of misery, shame and, occasionally, triumph. Along the way she is heckled, flattered, hated, hit on and told that she is "not as funny as Miranda."

So is this a brave new start or the last desperate roll of the dice? Written with brutal honesty, this is a funny, inspirational memoir about having the guts to find out what you were really meant to do with your life.

Viv Groskop has paid her dues so you don't have to. The story of her whirlwind comedy apprenticeship is as funny as it is inspiring, and may also give you nightmares. (Tim Dowling)
