Summary
Who is the man behind the many voices of Rob Brydon? Read by the man himself, this audiobook memoir will reveal the warm heart behind one of Britain's favourite impressionists.
A multi-award-winning actor, writer, comedian and presenter known for his warmth, humour and inspired impressions, Rob Brydon has quickly become one of our very favourite entertainers. But there was a time when it looked like all we'd hear of Rob was his gifted voice.
Growing up in South Wales, Rob had a passion for radio and soon the Welsh airwaves resounded to his hearty burr. However, these were followed by years of misadventure and struggle, before, in the TV series Marion and Geoff and Gavin and Stacey, Rob at last tickled the nation's funny bone. The rest, as they say, is history. Or in his case autobiography.
A Small Man in a Book is a funny, heartfelt, honest, sometimes sad, but mainly funny, memoir of how a young man from Wales very, very slowly became an overnight success.

Intresting if you like Rob or Wales
This is a nice biography its not all giggles and laughs but a honest and interesting tale about boy from Wales. I enjoyed it thoroughly, especially since it was read by the author, which always gives it that little bit extra. There are even some songs ;)

Had Potential But Disappointing
In a nutshell it was disappointing. 85% of this book is about before he reached fame which is all well and good and I’m happy to hear about it but the 15% that isn’t and contains the interesting stuff that I wanted to know more about felt rushed. No mention of Gavin and Stacey, Would I Lie To You or Amy panel show,

Heartwarming
A lovely book - Rob Brydon is obviously a thoroughly nice man and it's been entertaining and heartwarming hearing about his journey to stardom.
