From dealing with writer’s block to getting bad reviews to developing a vendetta with Barry Humphries, Geoff skewers the world of reading, writing, and literary success. If you're an avid reader, have a TBR pile taller than Peter Dinklage or use books to prop up a wobbly table, this show is for you. Smart, self-deprecating, and packed with laughs - no prior reading required!
