Publisher's Summary
"Part of me would sooner have been a comedian, I just don't have the guts to stand up and do it. But I would love to be in Monty Python rather than the Beatles...." (John Lennon)
Acclaimed biographer Jem Roberts narrates his brilliant new biography of the Beatles and their relationship with comedy. Includes a foreword written and narrated by Kevin Eldon, who also voices George Martin throughout the audiobook.
Fab Fools is the full, hilarious story of how John, Paul, George, and Ringo laughed their way to the toppermost of the poppermost in their classic films, cartoons, and even pantomime, not to mention their experimentations with audio comedy through Sir George Martin's Parlophone comedy classics series. The detailed history brings in every comedy legend of the 1960s and beyond, including George Formby, Ken Dodd, Morecambe and Wise, Cook and Moore, the Goons, Monty Python, the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band, the Simpsons, Peter Serafinowicz, Tenacious D, and Richard Curtis and his recent film Yesterday. And of course, no exploration of Beatles comedy would be complete without the first ever full audiobook celebration of the most influential rock and roll spoof in history: The Rutles.
Written with the full support and participation of the late Neil Innes. With thanks to Candy Jar Books.
