Don't Laugh, It'll Only Encourage Her: The No 1 Sunday Times Bestseller

Product Information

She tells every story with equal humor and enthusiasm, in the unique style that we have come to know and love about her. Having read Bob Mortimers book recently that has a lot of similar stories but told with much more heart this book just didn't gel for me.

I'm a big fan of Daisy May Cooper and the wonderful This Country, and picked up Don't Laugh, It'll Only Encourage Her in an Audible deal. Daisy May manages to convey the brutal reality of living in poverty, feeling hopeless and desperately trying to make it with her dream career without what you’re reading being completely fucking harrowing. Daisy and Charlie are contracted to do a cleaning job for three hours, but manage to do it in 20 minutes. She won the BAFTA TV Award for Best Female Comedy Performance in 2018 for her role as Kerry Mucklowe in the BBC Three series This Country, a mockumentary-style show about the eccentricities of life in rural England, which she co-created and co-wrote with her brother, Charlie Cooper. The family also always believed in her dream to become an actor which was characterised by setback after setback.This audiobook is narrated by Daisy May Cooper and includes an exclusive, bonus interview with Daisy and her Dad, Paul Cooper. There are so many mad crazy experiences in the book that I did, on occasion, question whether not they could all really be true.

Having no empathy or any sort of kindness, or understanding (even in retrospect) for the boy whom she met through a chat room, who had not told her about his disability, and then whom she did not speak to for the entire weekend he stayed (parents really, he slept in her room? Thanks lifting the lid on life as a wannabe actress and sharing your heartbreaking stories of all you had to endure whilst trying to 'make it' in showbiz.I know it's supposed to make me laugh, but I just felt so very sad for Daisy May and her family - growing up in chaos, dealing with loss and severe financial worries.

And just how much of a humiliating, ridiculous, screw-up of a s**t-storm life did I need to lead before I could finally realise my dream?I then went on to follow Daisy May and Charlie Cooper on Instragam, where Daisy kept us all entertained with her what-can-you-fit-under-your-tits challenge, and all the stories of the adventures with the Sea Captain. This audio version also has the added bonus of an exclusive interview with Daisy and her father Paul.
