"Mugs game, boy"

Russell Kane tells of his life and his troubled relationship with his father and how it has affect him as a child and an adult.

I really enjoyed this. I think Russell Kane is a brilliant comic and this book was such an interesting read. Russell does such a great examination of his dad and his outlooks, including the idea of toxic masculinity.

Nice easy listen, but don't think it really made me laugh much. Also at times a bit frustrating having someone make big sweeping gender statements but not bother to back them up with any actual evidence

I adored this audio book-laugh out loud funny. I connected with the stories and gave me a new perspective on how we fit in to the world.

This was a brilliant book. It was funny, interesting and had some great messages in it too! Seeing Russell's journey from a working class background to education and university was great!
