I absolutely love Alan Carr and was not disappointed one bit. As you're reading this book you can just imagine Alan saying every word. I really did laugh out loud and couldnt put it down - i read it in a day! What i love about Alan is that he doesn't take himself seriously and constantly sends himself up. He was destined to come together with Justin Lee Collins who are a fantastic double act in their own rights. May you continue to make us laugh Alan, the world needs more people like you!
Wonderful book November 5, 2008

From the front cover flap:
Hello and welcome to my life.
Oh, and what a life! From the grimness of doing data entry for Mr Dog to the dizzy heights of `The Friday Night Project' and performing for Her Majesty at the Royal Variety Performance. My life's been like a long flume, up and down with a couple of damp patches in the middle.
Take my hand, I want to lead you through my life. Within these pages you will come face to face with my parents, my dog Minstrel, my friends and a whole load of waifs and strays that have helped to make my journey that little bit more memorable. When you read Look Who It Is! I'm sure you'll agree - it's just been one thing after another.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to all. It follows Alan's life up until he accepts the offer to host The Friday Night Project with Justin Lee Colins. It is easy to read, interesting and engaging. He was very honest and I feel I know him now, and would like to meet him. It was very enlightening, I had thought Alan had been on the comedy scene for longer than he has. In fact, it was around 2005 he began to get famous.
Alan does not just talk about comedy though. He speaks of his family, including his famous, football manager Dad, Graham Carr and all his life experiences to date, which include university, travelling around the world and horrid temp jobs such as working in a call centre. There were several things in this book I could relate too, which made it even more enjoyable.
The book was not as funny as I was expecting it to be, however it did have me laughing and chuckling in places so I don't feel particularly let down.
This is a great book; an honest story where Alan says it like it is, and doesn't go for the sympathy vote. It is a bit cheeky that he has left the door open for a sequel in a few years, but hey, good for him.
An enjoyable book.
9/10

Alan Carr is a total sweetie. He's a real person, just like you and me - and that is meant as a good thing.
Hearing about Alan's early life, his experiences as a homosexual, (though really not a very active one) and growing up in the limelight created by his football managing father, it really is a lesson for all of us in how life is a trial for everyone, even when life is pretty normal.
I had known Alan was funny, (his frequent TV appearances had proven this) however I had never know that he hadn't just popped up out of nowhere to entertain me.
Thank you Alan for providing such entertainment.
A must - read November 1, 2008

I first saw Alan Carr on "8 Out Of 10 Cats" and he instantly made an impression on me. I think the reason people have taken him to heart is he doesnt take himself or anything seriously with is brand of self mockery and honesty accounts of a so far interesting life.
Lots of other people and written how you can't help but laugh out loud and its true i had to put the book down for abour five minutes purely because i couldnt go on as i was laughing too much.
Highlights include him dressing in a giant pig costume and nearly killing the family dog, wearing his moms knee high boots to get an ice cream and an account of Shirley Bassey and a stage handler behind the scenes of the Royal Variety Performance.
If you love Alan Carr or are just looking for an uplifting and touching book buy this - you wont be dissapointed.
