Best-selling author Geoff Rissole explores his love of books in a sharp, silly, and relatable hour of stand-up.

From dealing with writer’s block to getting bad reviews to developing a vendetta with Barry Humphries, Geoff skewers the world of reading, writing, and literary success. If you're an avid reader, have a TBR pile taller than Peter Dinklage or use books to prop up a wobbly table, this show is for you. Smart, self-deprecating, and packed with laughs - no prior reading required!

This show is recommended for those aged 16 and over – may contain colourful language and adult themes.
