How Not to Be a Boy by Robert Webb (Omnibus)

Comedian, actor and writer Robert Webb reads his memoir that is both laugh out loud funny and powerfully moving and tender.

He’s best known for his work with David Mitchell in BBC Radio 4's award-winning That Mitchell and Webb Sound and Channel 4’s Peep Show.

Omnibus of five parts abridged by Richard Hamilton.

An uneasy early childhood growing up in Lincolnshire, is followed by schoolboy crushes on girls and boys, to discovering a talent for making people laugh, to grief, and to becoming a husband and father.

As his life story unfolds, Robert questions the expectations thrust on boys and men and reflects on how these have shaped the man he is today.

Producer: Elizabeth Allard
