About The Author

William Cook is the acclaimed author of Ha Bloody Ha – Comedians Talking (Fourth Estate), The Comedy Store – the Club That Changed British Comedy (Little, Brown), two bestselling collections of Peter Cook's writing, and most recently the extravagantly well-reviewed Kiss Me Chudleigh: The World According to Auberon Waugh. He has worked for the BBC and written for the Guardian, the Mail on Sunday and the New Statesman.

With wit and warmth, William Cook charts the rise of a remarkable 20 year comedic partnership – and how it fell apart.
