This Mitchell and Webb Book

Praise for David Mitchell and Robert Webb: 'The new kings of comedy' Radio Times 'By far the funniest sketch show in ages ... fresh and full of invention' -- The Daily Telegraph 'Mitchell (the fat one who looks stuck-up and posh) and Webb (the thin one who looks selfish and stroppy) are talented writers and their current television series is genuinely worth staying in for. It's a reminder (for those who despair at the lame hamfistedness of Little Britain) that British comedians can be both funny and clever' Sunday Telegraph

A hilarious, lavishly-illustrated, thoroughly absorbing and highly entertaining journey through the comedy minds that brought you Peep Show, That Mitchell and Webb Look, a whole load of radio shows and tours, and yes, those Apple Mac ads.
