What are the stories that shape a man's life? Well, if you're comedian Tony Martin, it's the most absurd moments that maketh the man. He has written what can only be described as "a memoir of little consequence". Ignoring his many dubious achievements in the world of Australian show business (Martin/Molloy, The Late Show, Bargearse), New Zealand-born Martin has focused on life's smaller events. These include confrontations with bank tellers, embarrassing medical procedures and attempts to navigate the draconian decrees of a Body Corporate. Surprising, trivial, often bizarre and always amusing, 'Lolly Scramble' is a tasty assortment of tales of tiny life-changing moments from a man who really should know better. |
