Yeah, and we also want to just quickly mention that he has a new book out.
It's an extraordinary book It's called just ignore him and it is a memoir of which Stephen Fry former co-host on QI second banana the second banana to Alan Said it's funny sad frightening sweet savage and tender just ignore him will never leave you And that's what all the critics are saying about it as well.
It has had universal praise and we highly highly recommend it Yeah, it's an absolutely brilliant book.
It's just I mean you probably know Alan There's just this funny happy-go-lucky guy,
but it really really gets down to what made him who he is and I can't recommend it Enough.
It's just such a great great book It's available presumably in all good book shops.
I guess even the shit ones even the shit ones So definitely go out and get
that but in the meantime You can hear him doing what he does best,
which is being unbelievably funny in this week's show Okay on with the podcast on with the show top banana Hello and welcome to another episode of no such thing as a fish a weekly podcast Coming to you from four undisclosed locations in the uk.
My name is dan schreiber I am sitting here with james harken and a tushinsky and special guest It's alan davis and once again We have gathered around the microphones with our four favorite facts from the last seven days and in no particular order here We go starting with you alan Well,
I've found for you from the lismoor library in australia an unusual approach you can borrow a person The human library it's called And the human library was started to create a space and this is from the founder ronnie abigel You could walk in borrow a human being and talk to them about a very challenging topic Ideally we wanted people to talk about issues.
They would normally would not talk about or don't like to talk about And so you get you get a human book And that's a volunteer from a diverse background where they have experiences They're willing to share and they have titles the human books have titles like black activists or chronic depression or survivor of trafficking So,
I mean,
they're not very funny Is there a comedy section it doesn't seem to be It feels
like you may have like had a really really bad edinburgh experience Yeah,
