Alan Davies talks to Mel Giedroyc

What’s it like to be a famous comedian? If you’re Alan Davies, it’s a life full of uplifting highs and painful lows, success and excess – and it’s hard to survive. Davies tells the story of how he became a stand-up comedian, how he made it on TV and how he coped with the unwelcome realisation that most people knew him from a bank advert and thought he had a perm. Really honest, sometimes painful, always funny. Davies is in conversation with author and comedian Mel Giedroyc.
