Glutton: The Multi-Course Life of a Very Greedy Boy

June 29, 2024

This is Comedian and host of the brilliant Taskmaster podcast and co-host of Off Menu: Ed Gamble's memoir, looking back at his life through food, but it's not just his eating habits and the food he loves that he shares, he does share details of his life, mostly surrounding food.

Having been a fan of Ed Gamble's since first seeing Almost Royal on TV, to following his comedy career and move into podcasts and television, it was an absolute delight to listen to this book.
Very entertaining, even when talking about his diabetes, but also quite reflective and honest, in how his approach to comedy and his diabetes has changed over time as he's grown and taken on others feedback.

Highly recommend the aud
