Tripping Over Myself: A Memoir of a Life in Comedy

From Shaun Micallef, beloved host of ABC TVs news satire Mad as Hell, comes Tripping Over Myself an insightful and funny memoir about comedy and life that takes us through uncharted waters to unexpected places.

Comedy has been Shauns escape, his guiding light, his refuge, his passport, his lifebuoy, his drug, his mask, his means, his end, his lingua franca, his Self. But its not everything.

From his early years as a gangly, bespectacled nerd in suburban Adelaide to the giddy heights of national TV stardom, Shaun regales us with his experiences and his continuous reinvention through humour with well, humour. He writes with candour about his successes and failures, loves and losses, along with tales of wine, women, song, and eccentric dancing. Behind the persona of one of Australias best-loved comedians lurks, as you will discover, an idiot.

Despite Shauns best efforts, Tripping Over Myself is sprinkled with thoughtful insights and observations and shows us how to persist in the face of adversity or even good fortune. You will laugh, you will dog-ear pages, you will wonder, you will Google Jerry Lewis, you may book a trip to India, and you will come away from this book reflecting on your own life in new and remarkable ways.
