About this listen
Jennifer Saunders' comic creations have brought joy to millions. From Comic Strip to Comic Relief, from Bolly-swilling Edina in Ab Fab to her takes on Madonna or Mamma Mia, her characters are household names. But it's Jennifer herself who has a place in all our hearts. This is her funny, moving, and frankly bonkers memoir, filled with laughter, friends, and occasional heartache - but never misery.
Bonkers is full of riotous adventures: accidentally enrolling on a teacher training course with a young Dawn French, bluffing her way to each BBC series, shooting Lulu, trading wild faxes with Joanna Lumley, touring India with Ruby Wax and Goldie Hawn. There's cancer, too, when she becomes 'Brave Jen'. But her biggest battle is with the bane of her life: the Laws of Procrastination. As she admits, "There has never been a Plan. Everything has been fairly random, happened by accident or just fallen into place. I'm off now, to do some sweeping..." Prepare to chuckle, whoop, and go bonkers.

Exceptionally delightful!
I have adored Jennifer Saunders since I was a child. I can't tell you how delightful it is to hear her tell her story. She is a wonderfully interesting, intelligent and hysterical human being. The world is so much greater because she is in it. This reading illustrates this!

Miss Saunders never disappoints!
I have been watching, listening and enjoying Jennifer Saunders for nearly 35 years and she has always made me laugh with her engaging witt and silly sense of humour. Hearing her tell.her own stories was such a pleasure. BTW Jenn.... I really find yoghurt commercials annoying too ;)

Funny and sweet
I enjoyed the honesty and simplicity of the story, as is requested of the author: full of celebrities, royalty and a bit of sadness.

So much more than I expected
To say the narrative sometimes goes off on tangents is an understatement. However thats what made this so entertaining, rather than a droning recounting of places and people. Her comedy was a rollercoaster so why wouldn't you expect her autobiography to be the same. I purchased this because I quite liked Jennifer Saunders from the telly, I ended up loving her.

Jennifer is awesome
Jennifer Saunders is absolutely awesome. I laughed out loud in my car listening until people thought who is that mad woman on the roads! Please write another one and I really don’t mind listening to stories about your family others may not care but I do.
