Description
Having cut his teeth in music journalism, Graham Linehan became the finest sitcom writer of his generation. He captured the comedy zeitgeist not just as the co-creator of Father Ted but also with The IT Crowd and Black Books, winning five BAFTAs and a lifetime achievement award.
Then his life took an unexpected turn. When he championed an unfashionable cause, TV commissioners no longer returned his emails, showbiz pals lost his number, and his marriage collapsed.
In an emotionally charged memoir that is by turns hilarious and harrowing, he lets us into the secrets of the writing room and colorfully describes the high-octane atmosphere of a sitcom set. But he also berates an industry where there was no one to stand by his side when he needed help.
Bruised but not beaten, he explains why he chose the hill of women and girls' rights to die on—and why, despite the hardship of cancellation, he's not coming down from it any time soon.

A wonderful book!
A deeply sensitive memoir wrapped in a call to action. Tough Crowd manages to comfort the reader throughout heartbreaking and hilarious stories. Highly recommend. I will be listening twice.

amazing and touching story
I first saw this gentleman on a tiktok video and bought his book. It's a treasure and anyone who is bored and frustrated with the current state of affairs in the media should read it

Varied and Emotional!
A very interesting book from a man who was once a titan in British comedy and sacrificed it to stand up for what he believes. Definitely recommended for anyone interested in what it takes to make a TV show and anyone who is involved in the current culture war, on any side.

Passion for truth and humanity is a good thing to be obsessive about
This book is highly recommended for those who think that gender ideology is not their fight. It’s stunning to read how much Linehan has suffered for refusing to bow to a mob. Simply for voicing common sense concerns about children’s welfare, women’s rights and compelled beliefs that have no basis in reality. Hopefully the tide is turning and people brave enough to stand their ground will be remembered.
