Book Description

Sure, it’s the most wonderful time of the year – but during the holiday season, you have to be ready for anything. You never know when you might be trapped in an increasingly embarrassing family photo shoot; or haunted by ghosts who want to teach you life lessons; or cornered by carolers demanding figgy pudding when they really mean cash. Luckily, the narrators are here to show you how to make it through New Years in one piece – and the holiday play won’t be one of your worries with a flexible cast, easily adjustable length, and minimal set. 10 Ways to Survive the Holidays is a crowd-pleasing whirlwind tour through the hilarious pitfalls that we all power through to make merry.

Book Description

Comedy from Dave Vitty - Chris Moyles' hilarious sidekick on Radio 1. Dave Vitty, aka Radio 1's Comedy Dave, has worked his way from the backrooms of BBC radio to the biggest breakfast show on the airwaves and has a story to tell. He's played Glastonbury - twice - he's had his ear licked by Dave Grohl and he's written more 'Car Park Catchphrases' than you can shake a stick at. Dave's first attempt at being a proper writer is a collection of his stories, misadventures, songs, anecdotes and pictures from his phone all linked together in a far from tedious way. Less Lord of the Rings and more 'Lord of the Things', there's a lot of comedy value in Dave's excellent book.
