Description
Bridget Christie's life was changed forever by a chance encounter in a bookshop. On April 30th, 2012, a man's fart in the Women's Studies Section sparked a moment of clarity that would propel her to become one of Britain's most acclaimed stand-up comedians. In A Book for Her, Christie recounts her twelve years of anonymous struggle in the comedy world and the sudden epiphany that made her career. Along the way, she tackles topics such as sexism in advertising, the power of yoghurt, and the writing of Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights. Christie's unique blend of humour and seriousness shines through on every page, making this book a worthwhile read for anyone interested in comedy and feminism.
