Written together with friend and journalist Boyd Hilton, this audiobook follows a year in the lives of Matt Lucas and David Walliams. It covers their childhoods, family life and early comedy performances as they found their feet; their complex friendship and working relationship; and the increasingly insane celebrity bubble they live in.

Boyd Hilton examines the changes in politics and society in the years 1783-1846, showing how the raffish and rakish style of eighteenth-century society, having reached a peak in the Regency, then succumbed to the new norms of respectability popularly known as 'Victorianism'.

An examination of the mentality of the first half of the 19th century, when catastrophes and personal misfortune were seen as dispensations of divine providence. In the 1850s and 1860s, however, a different attitude developed. at the centre of which was a new way of understanding the Atonement.
