He Took Me Kidney, Then Broke My Heart by Dave Spikey (2009)
Read: Sometime in 2009 most likely
Ah we do love Dave Spikey. Obviously starting with Phoenix Nights and then we saw him in stand up and had a brilliant night (he was supported by the tiger-face one from Phoenix Nights too whcih was cool!) at the Corn Exchange. In fact from what we've seen of Peter Kay live DVDs because he is in such huge venues it doesn't seem as good at all as Dave Spikey.
The book is based on bizarre news stories and Spikey provides commentry. This is an idea we loved and laughed so hard at when we saw him in London. In book form it starts to translate, but it's not wuite as good as live. The headlines mainly have it, sometimes a few lines from the stories themselves are classic, but for about half of them it feels like clutching at straws or that he is working too hard to press home the gag - not needed.
Not as good as the stand up, but still a great book and I'd love to see him live again.
